Hello All,

I want to know whether its possible to run & access a web application on DEVICE A, from DEVICE B over local WiFi network.
DEVICE A has a web server on which a web application is deployed.[DEVICE A is running on Linux]
DEVICE B [any mobile device with browser support] and DEVICE A are connected to each other via local WiFi network [no Internet connectivity].
DEVICE B should be able to access & run the web application on DEVICE A.
Is this scenario possible ?

NOTE: No native application will be used on DEVICE B. The application will be run from DEVICE B's browser.

Please let me know your views on this plan.

Thanks & regards,
Dinesh

Yes this is reasonable. There may be issues of external availability if device A has a NAT address (eg. 192.168.x.y) or if a firewall blocks incoming connections ... but perhaps that is your plan.

tl;dr: If device A has a web server, it should be available on the local network via wifi unless otherwise blocked.
