angularjs - Is it possible to use ng-include without web server?

Question

I'm running an AngularJS app which merely include a file

<div ng-include src="'sample.html'"></div>

That works when run under web server. But if the web app is run from merely double clicking from file explorer (i.e. not from web server), it doesn't include the file

Does ng-include works outside of web server? I checked the Network status on Chrome, it says OPTIONS on Method, and Load cancelled on Status

One workaround is to inline your templates:

<script type="text/ng-template" id="sample.html">
  <div>This is my sample template</div>
</script>

Fiddle.

This puts your template into Angular's template cache. When an ng-include directive is processed, Angular checks the cache first.
