Install local apk via html link

[BobAchgill]

I want to make a link to an apk file that is stored in the same directory locally on my phone as the html file... such that when pressing the link the apk will get installed from the local directory (ie. not downloaded and installed).

example:
<a href="myapk.apk">link</a>

However, I get the error message ...
"unable to download file"

Thanks!
Bob

You need to ensure your web server that is going to deliver the APK sets the MIME type properly. It should be application/vnd.android.package-archive for .apk files.
