It's not possible at the moment. I used to serve the pages directly from the extension - however, this causes the feed fetcher and the web page to run in the same thread - so the UI gets sluggish.

I moved the web page into a 'content script' - meaning injecting it into a normal web page - and that solved the problem.

Fraidycat 2 will allow 'localhost' access. (Later this year.)
