Hey Johannes, great work mate! I only just found this via your blog post, have been looking for a solution like this for sites/apps running entirely offline via a USB (for long-distance users with no internet connection). Really good work.
Only enhancement I could suggest is if we were able to serve the image file as a thumbnail, so there's a visual representation instead of a filename. If I get time I'll try it myself and fork it.
