That would be great; an option that users could enable or configure to allow Web browser access to Limewire's shared folder (without need for a password or unique link) would be a good way to enable the product to act as both a p2p tool and a Web server -- if that's not a terribly difficult option to add, could you add it to the 4.1 beta?

Ideally, for example, we'd be able to use Limewire's Web server capabilities like this in our enterprise (intranet) Web pages when we are sure the content is already on the local system (in Limewire's shared folder):

http://localhost:####/companyLogo.gif

(where #### is the port, of course, and companyLogo.gif is one of the many images that are in Limewire's shared folder).

And in cases where we're not certain if the content is actually available, perhaps we could pass the Limewire server a magnet link instead of a file name, that way Limewire will automatically start to download (and then return to the Web browser) the content. For example:

http://localhost:####/magnet:?xt=urn...6VWMA37H7DN... etc.

I'd be happy to test it when available, and can give you detailed feedback for it when run on a private company network (intranet). \
