Sideload Web App with cURL command?

Is it possible to sideload a web app (JS, CSS, HTML5) thats compressed(.zip) to the firetv or fire stick? Something like "curl -F appID=1234 -F name=Emulate -F appFile=@fli.zip http://192.168.2.6" I know you can sideload an adk file, but what about a web app?

Hi Kevin, Thanks for posting. The short answer is no: a web app as a ZIP package cannot be sideloaded. Normally web apps get wrapped into a lightweight Cordova shell as an APK file during application submission process in the Dev Portal. That is the format that you can sideload and test on a device. Thanks!
