Well, in my understanding, it should be implement as an uWSGI, FastCGI or
SCGI application. The feature is too specific to be part of a general
purpose Web server my default.

It is certainly not in the roadmap. Actually, I can see the value of having
a uWSGI/FastCGI app, but I'm not even sure this is something that should be
built-in the web server. If we had the app though, we could provide a Wizard
to auto-configure it.
