use "file" protocol for serverless client #1

File URIs are incredibly security restricted in order to avoid leaking data from the local filesystem. These restrictions are more severe than even normal SOP which can be loosened using CORS. Intern might work with a file URI, but it is not tested and it is not supported. Our policy is that you must have a working Web server.

Ok. But in my opinion this is not clear in the description. I guess it is correct and implicitly said by using "http://" but "path/to" is a bit confusing as this is usually used for local paths, no server given. Wouldn't hurt to add a sentence about that.
