They go through the Web server when the developer cares about security. :)

The trick here is that LC Server is designed to run as a CGI; that is, 
the process is born, lives, and dies in the time it takes to satisfy a 
request.

So what I need to work out is how to launch it and have it sit in a loop 
waiting for communications over a given port.  Probably doable, but 
would be nice if someone had already worked out the gotchas.
