Well, I were talking of the little dirty-hack in the JPEG-encoding that is 
supposed to render JPEG:s incrementally, with a first low-resoultion-variant, 
on to more detailed levels, but can from what I've understodd be used to hack 
video into beeing rendered into a regular web-browser?

Allright. ;) I agree, it's ugly, but nice for the dumb windows users. I still 
haven't heard of any windows-user that have managed to view my xvid in 
RTSP-stream from spook. :-/

I agree. This might be a useful thing to do for most users. But would it 
really be difficult to create a simple HTML-template-engine in spook and 
connect it to the existing webserver, just to offer the user an alternative 
to installing Apache or some other external web-server?

Sure thing. But currently I'm just using it to strip for various ladies on the 
internet. But perhaps you want the URL anyways? ;)
