Please find below.

Of course IMHO, I'd rather there not be a dependency at all.  As it's 
already too late to look this up once you're offline.

|# HOWTO Configure MythWeb to _NOT_ Use Online Javascript Sources

Based on notes by "rds55" (and further comments) found on the [MythTV 
Forum](https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3253&p=15747).

## STEP 1 - Make appropriate directories to hold Offline Copies of the 
Javascript

     sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/js/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/
     sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/js/ajax/libs/prototype/1.7.3.0/


## STEP 2 - Download the javascript into these Directories

Note: This is different to the forum instructions (which appear to be a 
little backwards), but it is tested and working.

     sudo wget 
https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js -O 
/usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/js/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js
     sudo wget 
https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/prototype/1.7.3.0/prototype.js -O 
/usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/js/ajax/libs/prototype/1.7.3.0/prototype.js


## STEP3 - Configure MythWeb to use the Offline Copy

     MYTHSERVER=127.0.0.1  # TODO - use the address of your myth box
     curl --data Key=mythweb_use_cdn --data Value=0 
$MYTHSERVER:6544/Myth/PutSetting
