Comments

@mouseroot. Ok thanks for the advice. When I was talking about http server, I meant locally on the user's machine(start a nodejs for example and kill it when the user stop the application somehow).

Other solution is to use chromium with a filesystem extension.

Do you have tricks or advices for that ?

http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/filesystem/ and heres something i tossed together yesterday :D http://cssdeck.com/labs/nt3httvf

that site html5rocks shows alot of cool stuff some of it only works in chrome but most of it is cross browser, hope this helps

Ok I will check the html5rocks web site. Thanks
