MIB web browser open to the world
There are two (known to me) usages of the built-in web browser in MIB: boardbook and license viewer. Both use offline static html files to display content. But those can be easily modified to get access to the world-wide web.
Boardbook
Boardbook html mod to alter the original boardbook and inject it into a non-modified system.
But it looks like it's also possible to simply change the path to the boardbook directory by adding a parameter to the LSD start script:
VMOPTIONS="$VMOPTIONS -DBoardbookInfoFilePath=/mnt/boardbook/"
License Viewer
Here's part of the code that loads the license
private String getFilePath(String string) {
Buffer buffer = new Buffer();
buffer.append("/eso/browser/public/license");
if (string != null && string.length() > 0) {
buffer.append("-");
buffer.append(string);
}
buffer.append(".html");
return buffer.toString();
}
Now we know where to look for the .html file - it should be in the /eso/browser/public/license directory.
License Viewer web access test
It works! Adding a simple line like <a href="#">click here</a> with a target website will easily navigate the web browser to the www.
