This may have been obvious to some, but I just discovered that lwp works fine in a local loop (127.0.0.1). now my mind is being blown by the possibilities.

I use this heavily to generate static html from dynamic stuff - what other possibilities do you see?

I was thinking along the same lines. I've been doing the same thing through other means, but this is so quick and dirty. The ease if use just opens up a new realm.

Yup,
list of dynamic pages -> getstore -> static pages
I can honestly say I'd be sunk SE-wise if it wasn't for lwp...

Ok, I see what you were referring to in e now Littleman - it didn't sink in this way. Sure localhost is great for generating static out of dynamic. It is how I cache thousands of pages a day over jf. If the page isn't in the cache, it spiders "itself", and puts the page in the cache, then serves the user the cached page. Next user that comes along, hey, it's already cached as static. Major savings in system resources.
