You need a small webserver, which can be bound to 127.0.0.1 (so that 
browsers on remote machines cannot access it). You would then point your 
browser at http://127.0.0.1:xxxx/ where xxxx is whatever port you bound 
the webserver to.

Sinatra looks to be a very good match to your requirements.

require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'
post '/submit' do
  .. do stuff using posted params[]
  .. return a string containing the response page
end
