app should be able to use local zim first when loading external resource about kiwix-apple HOT 6 CLOSED

Yes, I agree on the feature request. On my side I do not know how to resolve agnosticaly that problem.

from kiwix-apple.

Senario:

Consider this external link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham%20Lincoln
After remove percentage encoding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham Lincoln
Kiwix URL: kiwix://zimID/A/Abraham_Lincoln.html

Proposed approach A

Add associatedDomains array to zim files.

Example:
add "en.wikipedia.org" as associatedDomains, so app can map "en.wikipedia.org" to zimID

Things to figure out:

• Correct way to construct Kiwix URL based on external URL:
  • Percentage encoding, "%20" -> "_", etc
  • wiki -> A? I need to understand why it is "A", and will there be "B" or "C", etc?
  • should I always make sure suffix ".html" exist?
• in libkiwix, make sure bool getContentByURL is cheap if I just need to check the existence of a URL, or a new API just to check if URL exist

Proposed approach B

In zim files, add redirections, or canonical url solver

Example:
wiki/Abraham%20Lincoln -> A/Abraham_Lincoln.html, app will simplify replace en.wikipedia.org with zimID
