How to open a test page with a url with a certain domain in path without deploying it to a server?

This seems like a simple question, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around it...

I have a simple html page. All that html page does is looks to see whether a browser cookie is present, and if it is, it will write a message that says "Found the cookie".

In order for this html page to work, it needs to be opened in a browser using a url that uses a specific domain "mytestsite.org" in the path in order to work. So I want to be able to open that page in a browser using a url like "www.mytestsite.org/mytestpage.html". Easy enough...

When I use this test page locally, I just deploy it to a local JBoss server, then make a mapping in my "hosts" file (I'm on Windows XP), that maps my local IP to "local.mytestsite.org". This tricks the browser开发者_如何学编程 into thinking that it is actually getting the page from "mytestsite.org", when it is actually being served by my local JBoss server.

I want to give this html file to another person who is going to use it on their pc. However, they don't have any sort of http server installed, so the little host mapping trick won't work. I don't want to make them go through the trouble of installing a server just to get this test page to work. Additionally, I can't physically put this file on "mytestsite.org".

Any thoughts on how I could open this page through a "mytestsite.org" url through a browser, without actually having it deployed to a server?

Is your test machine with JBoss installed accessible from the Internet? If so, you may ask the other person to add a mapping to their hosts file, that maps local.mytextsite.org to the public IP of your test machine.
