I have been trying various hacks to get the content server working and have partially succeeded. It was really hard work.

The basic thought is to use a proxy server that can handle AJAX.

After a lot of search and trial and error I went with http://www.internetbypass.com/

some screen shots attached.

The only problem is that the book download links dont work

some observations about the book download-

The urls are ok (e.g. "http://???.???.143.119:8080/get/mobi/The%20adventures%20of%20Tom%20Sawyer_2433.mobi" ) but the actual file doesnt get downloaded.
If the format is not supported I get the usual error about which types can be downloaded by the basic web
when i select a supported book type link(e.g mobi) it just refreshes. but i notice that the downloaded bytes in the top show the same same amount as the books specified size. so it seems to download the book. Also it takes different times based on different sizes of books
dont know why the books wont show up as downloaded

I Need help. Almost got it working . When I get then working I will post a proper tutorial for not tech users.
