I think this setup will solve both our problems. But don't try to launch it from a network share, set up Apache (or another web server) and launch it through there. I tried Liam's example from the command line and it works perfectly -- it just means we have to put the program in a directory where Apache can serve it, instead of sharing it through SMB or NFS.
