Dear,

There is a mechanism related to win32_http_server() based on an optional 
filename (find_option("stopper", 0, 1)) which starts a thread, checking every 
second the presence of that file and if found triggers the stop of the http 
server feature.

I don't get the point of this.  It isn't needed nor used when running as a 
service (NULL passed for this parameter), only available when running as 
command-line (server or ui), and it looks like by default that option is 
undefined.  Yet I have not seen any issue stopping the process using ctrl-c.  
Why would sometimes a file used a semaphore be needed to trigger the 
termination of the http serving feature?

There must be something I didn't understand or see.  Or this is a left-over 
from something else.  Would someone have an insider view on the matter?
