A Web Server Firefox Extension. Interesting

Came across this on Moz's Firefox Extensions page. Interesting, a Web Server in your browser. Not really sure what your sposed to do when you decide to call it a day and your site goes down, but interesting nonetheless. I'm sure I'll get round to giving it a look some late night..

The Plain Old Webserver uses Server-side Javascript (SJS) to run a server inside your browser. Use it to distribute files from your browser. It supports Server-side JS, GET, POST, uploads, Cookies, SQLite and AJAX. It has security features to password-protect your site. Users have created a wiki, chat room and search engine using SJS.
