Hi Pier,

yes, the temp thing works, but it is impractical and slow to copy the whole Documents folder, potentially holding hundreds of MB, on every app launch. We've used that workaround for some time, but now resorted to GCDWebServer.

And concerning allowingReadAccessToURL: We're now using this to provide access to the APP BUNDLE. However, AFAICS, this only allows to specify ONE folder. Most apps will need access to both the Documents folder AND the App bundle.
