When I had a need for such a thing, I messed around with the *HTTPServer
stuff in the standard distribution to get what I wanted; because of, er,
moving targets it ended up pretty messy but it's one way of doing things
quickly if you have esoteric needs. Making it run threaded was trivial,
although you still have to be aware of the standard threading problems
<wink>.
