<b>Document root</b>

Document root by default is set to application private directory, example index

file automatically created. It is a safe configuration. You can place your pages

in this directory. But be careful! If you use Android 5.0 or above and uninstall

the application this directory and its content will be removed.

<b>Security warning</b>

You can change document root to any readable path on file system, but you need

to understand what are you doing. __Be careful: you could (suddenly?) create the

configuration so than anyone on the same Wi-Fi network could access the data on

your device whether you like it or not.__ All files from document root and below

are available for reading without any restrictions to anyone who's connected to

the network and knows the URL of the server.

<b>"Send", "QR code" and "Browser"</b>

After server starts you can press:

* "Browser" button for check server operation in your local browser

* "QR code" to call https://f-droid.org/packages/net.basov.lws.qr.fdroid or https://f-droid.org/packages/com.google.zxing.client.android to share URL by QR code. If no app is installed it offers to install lWS QR plugin

* "Send" to share the working server URL to another device via Bluetooth, Android Beam, E-Mail and any other way available on your device.

<b>On screen log</b>

The application has no permanent logging. This was treated this as redundant

functionality. The app tries to have the notification up to date. The on screen

log works only when the application is visible. Log screen may be cleared after

returning from background.
