@tome, sure but stats are very useful as a practical tool. @charliesome, one use case of this, is to deploy it (lets say on ec2), on lets say webnull.myhost.com, and point any webservice / client you wish to its http visible domain. You gain a handy tool that fakes http reliably, readily-deployed for any experiment.
