Sure, but opening ports tends to be a headache when all you want to do is view the contents.
On this case I wonder if the format can be further optimized. For example, .js files are supported for loading locally and albeit a very inefficient way to load assets, it could overcome this local disk limitation and nobody reads the HTML source code in either way so it won't need to win any code beauty contests. I'll later look into this theory and ping the author in case it works.
