Mozilla already has a built-in protocol which would let you navigate this data directly, the jar: protocol. A JAR is just a ZIP file served with a specific MIME type. jar:http://www.example.com/foo.jar!/index.html will load /index.html from within foo.jar. foo.jar needs to be served with the application/java-archive MIME type. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Security_and_the_jar_protocol has a few more details. --BDS
