              <div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">For Visualizer to be able to load a file, it will
                need the argument --load-file (it seems to have
                disappeared in your config launcher). The option --data
                specifies the directory, so whatever file you want to
                load, it must be relative to that directory. For example
                to load the data file <span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">C:/my_data/dir/example1/my_fil<wbr>e.vti

                specify it? </font></div>
              <div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">* If it's always the same, you can directly hardcode

              <div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">* if it's not always the same, you could use the
                solution on the gist which is specifying it in the URL
                directly (there are other alternatives of course). In
                that case, the URL must contain the file to load
                (otherwise paraview cannot guess it :)). For instance:</font></div>

                                                      the instructions
                                                      for Apache server
                                                      (you could

                                                      any other, e.g.
                                                      NGinx) for Linux. 
                                                      I see you are on
                                                      Windows: I don't
                                                      know how Apache
                                                      works on Windows
                                                      but I assume (and
                                                      hope) the steps
                                                      and config file
                                                      should be similar.<br>
                                                      <br>
                                                      I hope it helps!
