yes it's static html.

I don't get it, any JS or meta-tag solution would indiscriminately work from a static file too.

I like automating my desktop beyond my IDE, it's purely for reducing turnaround time

And installing Mojo and getting acquainted with websockets would stop my current project.

(That's basically the drama of my many projects, instead of "getting done" I'm hopping around trying to "get it right")

Anyway I have a powershell solution now, which fits into one line. No need to install anything else. :)
