Hi all,

In case anyone is still interested, I went and patched the libnickel.so from 3.19.5761 in the manner described at https://a3nm.net/blog/kobo_glo_hacking.html. This means that you can launch the browser without requiring to connect to wifi, and use wikipedia with kiwix-serve offline.

The instructions are pretty much the same, except you need to include the line

ifconfig lo 127.0.01

in your rcS file, before you launch kiwix-serve, and the file to replace is called libnickel.so.1.0.0.

The patched file is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxj...lLVmxRbUk/view

On a related note, does anyone know how to get kiwix-serve to respect a mobile user agent?
