One big drawback of the static html report is that there is room only for a limited amount of interactions: resorting tables, expanding/collapsing items. However these changes are not even persistence.

In the long term our goal is to fit this tool nicely in the bug hunting process: Assume one developer starts analyzing a bugreport. He or she will look through the report, will filter the logs and will add some comments to the logs, like "Look here, audio stream was not created properly". He or she then hands over the bugreport to an expert in that area. The goal is that the new developer should be able to see the same filtered log and the same comments when running the tool again.

Due to technical reasons, this is not possible when generating static html files, which are opened by the browser directly. For this to work, we need a web server. That's why the latest version of ChkBugReport contains a tiny little web server integrated, which can be started with the --server command line argument.
