As the URL indicates, it's well possible that the webserver only listens to 127.0.0.1, which wouldn't make it a large 
security risk, unless its ran on an NT-machine under an admin-account and accessed by a regular user, which could then 
have read-access to files, he/she shouldn't have it to. Perhaps someone with Realplayer installed can check wether this 
miniserver is binding to all interfaces, or just the loopback?
