Thanks for the update demerphq.

Frankly, I was surprised when that old post came back to haunt me:) I'm also pretty sure that it pre-dates theorbtwo's deification, of which I was completely unaware. May I say, it couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke.

The test server idea I expressed is hardly rocket science. The limitation appeared (then) to be more to do with hardware and bandwidth rather than lack of desire. The hardware has been uprated once if not twice since I posted, so the applicability of the THTTPD idea probably lost whatever merit it once had.

Actually, I have no idea how to go about becoming a member of pmdev--probably because I've never really looked. I somehow doubt(ed) that there would be any enthusiasm for my particular brand of gung-ho pragmatism amongst that elite. Besides which, I've done little by way of webserver work, and as I said once before, when it comes to coding stuff that has got to be right, I'd personally employ you before me.

Good luck with your endevours.
