If you are looking for something in the lpmud world. The LIMA mudlib
has a very simple web page that uses the muds internal http_d and
allows wizards to log in with their wizard name/password and edit
any files that they normally would have access to.

We have our own version of that has a few more features.  When they
first login, they are presented with their directory, they can then
navigate by clicking the filenames/directories or entering a path to
a file. If they click on a file name it opens it and allows them to
edit it.  Giving them options of rereading it, saving, updating (the
update works but it doesnt get nice messages back, still easier to
do that inside the mud), and indenting.
