OK; so if I understand correctly, you do not want a browser as such,
instead you want to download some notifications from your server then
display them locally.
I think that probably can work. One of the hard things with making a
browser is handling all the comms protocol required to download the page
and so forth, but if you are making your own mechanism to download your
notifications then that probably deals with most of the hard bit anyway.
Once you have the file downloaded to a suitable temporary location on
the host machine, displaying it in Fl_Help_View becomes trivial.
Still, if you are downloading a file like that, is html the best format?
You could probably even download plain text and display that in a simple
text widget?
But I guess if you want to have images, or fancy text, then html is
probably the path of least resistance.
And I guess it is likely that the host machine will have port 80 open,
whereas other ports are likely to be blocked, so I guess that also might
tend to make html a reasonable choice.
