Nope.  It will be an "end-user" app that I want to load like a web page
but feel like a desktop application.  Asking the user to install an XPI
has some disadvantages in that environment.

Are you referring to things like accessing the local filesystem?  I don't
need to do that.

Like my original message said, I saw XMLHttpRequest, but is it mature,
and is it included with current Netscape and Mozilla releases?  (The page
says it's in nightly builds.)

Also that would involve a more complicated PHP script.  I didn't want to
mess with XML when a POST type protocol would work just fine, with less
bandwidth.

For that matter, I'm not 100% certain how you'd go about dealing with a
request posted by XMLHttpRequest.  Can anyone point to an example,
preferrably in PHP?

Thanks for the help,
Micah
