Can a Rev cgi "accept connections"?

[Nicolas Cueto]

Why do I ask?

Cause, after studying about sockets using Rev's "chat server/client" sample
stack (thank you to Bill Vlahos for pointing it out), I'm now trying to get
a Rev cgi script to act as the server (the script will  be in my on-rev
Rev-cgi folder).

Unfortunately, what works locally isn't at all on the web.

If it helps, here's the Rev cgi server-script and a snippet of the client
stack:


///////////////   Rev.cgi server script    ////////////////////////////////

#!MyRevEngine -ui
on startup
  accept connections on port 1987 with message chatConnected
end startup

on chatConnected s   -- s contains address and port of connecting computer
  read from socket s for 1 line
  put line 1 of it into tSocket
  put "Hello world" && tSocket into message
  write message to socket tSocket
  close socket tSocket
end chatConnected


/////////////////// client stack ///////////////////////////
on mouseUp
  open socket to "myurl.com/cgi-bin/server.cgi:1987" with message
"chatConnected"
end mouseUp

on chatConnected s
   put s into lChatSocket
   read from socket s with message chatReceived
end chatConnected

on chatReceived s,data
   put data & return after field "responses"
   read from socket s with message chatReceived
end chatReceived

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Apologies if I'm asking for excessive hand-holding.

Thanks.
