Thats the point, your serving up a web page, therefore the need for a web
server.
You can (though its a lot more work than just setting up an web page) is
build a static template that has tokens you can replace...
Basically, it can be served up, a program rewrites the page every now and
then with data... and you can access it using the file:/// method... You
WONT be able to serve it up using http:// because your not using a web
server.
So there is a way to do it, but honestly, your wasting your time....
setting up IIS isn't hard from an installer, nor is cassini... People
trying to go around or "roll there own" ususally just get burned and spend a
lot more time and money...
but I suppose you will do it the way you want.
good luck,
