Why not use WebRick like ruby script to build your own webserver?

I think the invasive solution could be too problematic if you find an admin
that refuse the idea to install some app on his lan.

Maybe this is not your case...

Oggetto: Re: Using Watir and Ruby2Exe together

In the haze of an early breakfast coupled with little sleep, I realized 
that the solution to this problem wasn't about forcing the browser to do 
something it is explicitly designed not to do. Rather, the key is to get 
the client PCs to act like a server which is when I had the head 
slapping moment of thinking about the Ruby one-click installer. It can 
be put on a Flash drive, it will execute on Windows XP and Vista, any 
browser can be used to view the HTML pages from Apache, and it really 
beefs up the infrastructure with many features including having a MySQL 
database to store info and extract the data from. The problem of saving 
an XML file to disk completely disappears when viewed from a server side 
perspective.
