Jimmy,

Did you ever get this fixed? I tried application/zip as well as
application/x-zip-compressed, but in every case I get a "No such file to
load" error.

Here''s the source:



<script src="http://visitmix.com/dlr/dlr.js"
type="text/javascript">





  <script type="application/x-zip-compressed"
src="myarchive.zip">


  # somelib.rb => document.message.innerHTML = "Hello World!"
  require ''myarchive.zip/somelib''



  # file.txt just has a text string.
  content = File.open("myarchive.zip/file.txt"){ |f| f.read }
  window.alert(content)
