Render a specif-file served in the web

[odungern]

As a user I want to browse a rendered instance of any web-hosted specif or specifz file.

• The file can be hosted by a web-server such as Apache, Github, Sharepoint or a similar site.
• A specif or specifz file cannot be displayed directly in a browser.
• Any good idea to make the association from the file-type to executing the viewer code is welcome.

There is an export option for an HTML-file with embedded SpecIF data for quite a while. It carries the file-extension *.specif.html.

When clicking a link in a web-browser or in the Windows File Explorer, it opens up, fetches needed Javascript libraries from where the SpecIF Editor is installed having produced it and finally renders the content in the browser. Both the web-browser and the file resp. web-server must allow the execution of Javascript. In most installations of MS Sharepoint, this is not the case, however. In this case the file must be downloaded to the local file system and executed from there.
