There are many possible processing models for EPUB; from doing what you suggest (embedded web server working on unzipped content) to completely native processing and variants in between. There is no specific/single implementation or requirement for same in the standard. Also, there is no requirement that the entire bundle be downloaded either - you could use byte range requests.

It is not usable in server-free environments such as widgets or ebooks. It might be a little bit off-track but I wonder what is the processing model of epub files, once the zipped bundle is downloaded. Basically, I naïvely wonder why once downloaded and unpacked it is not possible to create a Web server where the root is the root of the epub file. It could be an in memory HTTP server. -- Karl Dubost - http://dev.opera.com/ Developer Relations & Tools, Opera Software
