I am running apache 2, so not Apple's so the new workaround works great  
for me. However I can see Eric's point. I wonder if using a Ruby on  
Rails server or even a little python server would provide to support  
needed. Then the display would be something like  
<http://0.0.0.0:3000/web_kit_workaround.pdf> Of course RoR would have  
to be running which seems easy enough.
