Hi Clarance......There isn't much to expand on.....thats what blew me away
about this........  look up "httpd" in lc 9.0 dictionary.  there are 3
commands.  it can't possibly be any easier ..... you can just send an
encoded & encrypted array back and forth.  done.  Mark says wasn't built to
be a web server per se. .... but it sure as life works like one :)

some benchmarks by richard gaskin:
