No, not necessarily.  A web server provides a content header based on
its own internal configuration.  For local files, it is determined
locally, and so might be different.

Also it is possible that there are some file references in there that
are not purely relative or that there is another file that is not there.
 One would have to look at the .html and .js files to see.
