I don't see how to do that sanely. You could send the AJAX requests from a form on https://freemarker.apache.org/try.html to the VM (with the help of some CORS headers). But it's a pain, as then you have to deploy new versions to two places (or proxy the HTML from the VM...) Also, you still should use HTTPS for the AJAX requests, so you still need to install a certificate there. > Have we not already forms in the main domain? It's all static HTML.
