  That's a great reason not to use this. Doesn't seem a reason not to do it.

    That's exactly right. I wrote a web server in C. I'm not really a web guy, it was a lot of new stuff to me, I'm a pretty amateurish programmer, and it probably doesn't even deserve to be called a "web server". But it was fun, and really cool to know that something that I wrote (with the help/jump-off point of a tutorial or two) can be used to serve web pages to a client. I can run the program, pop open Firefox, and use the browser to click through a set of test pages as though it was being served by a real web server. That's fucking cool, and that was all the reason that I needed to do it. Don't Reinvent The Wheel - unless you want to!
