Opening html file with query string

Question

Is it possible to load a local HTML file with a query string? I'm using Process.Start, but that fails because appending ?querystring=test to the end of the filename makes it search for that.

Process.Start("page.html?querystring=test") 

The code above results in a FileNotFound exception. I've tried using ProcessStartInfo and pass the query string as an argument, but that just loaded the normal page. Is this possible?

Answer 1

It's not possible because query strings are a part of HTTP protocol and so they only work when a file is served from a web server. A local HTML file is simply read from the file system.
