Surf the internet from within a .imp ebook?

I'm playing with the idea of embedding weblinks in a .imp ebook, and then loading it onto the ebook reader with Linreb after putting the .imp ebook into the 'shelf' directory.

I wanted to see how I could enable the reader to access the internet, not from the content html pages, but from an opened .imp ebook.

I failed (for now...) since the 'register.ebooksystem.net' was not being forwarded to the internet, but to Linreb. Linreb cannot yet fetch webpages.

I tried to forward just this request to privoxy, but got into an endless loop. Requires a bit more study.

BTW, the HTTP request sent by the ebook reader was logged as:
Code:
http://register.ebooksystem.net/form/redirect.asp?target=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki%2Emobileread%2Ecom%2Fwiki%2FMain_Page&pubid=None%3Aebook%3Aguid-237ceaa3f5cb49b281ca33724a38bc5b
The sample .imp ebook I used is attached below. Your mileage may vary...

EDIT: Oops, I carelessly uploaded a .imp that was only for the REB1200. These attachments correct that! Please note that the .imp below is for the EBW1150 and _1200.imp for REB1200.
