Solution

  • Set the enable-file-access-from-file-uris property on WebView:

    view = webkit.WebView()
settings = view.get_settings()
settings.set_property('enable-file-access-from-file-uris', 1)
view.open('file://./foo.html')

    Example file foo.html which writes contents of file://./bar.html into the body:

    <html>
<head><script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.4.js"></script></head>
<body><script>
$.ajax({url: 'file://./bar.html', success: function(data) {
    document.write(data);
    }
});
</script></body></html>
