It'll probably be Intraweb 8.
My intention is to make an EXE web server that launches the
user's web browser, but I don't want any interference from
firewalls on the user's PC.
Therefore the server should ideally not be bound to any network
card but rather to the localhost only.
Is this possible, or will local firewalls (Windows XP, Sygate etcetera)
still
block/warn about this local IP traffic?
