It does have a HTTP server that serves a 404 message to regular requests. It also serves a default 'login page' if you ask it for the right address.
http://192.168.1.99:9000/?method=login, works for me, for example, if my loginURI is http://192.168.1.99:9000/. Serves up default pages under those circumstances. Those default pages are customizable by doing a few steps. To customize those pages, look for the .html.example for that file, rename them and remove the .example from the end of the file name. Then open them up in your favorite HTML editor and tweak them to your liking. The html files are served up from the bin folder and are named the following: 404 page: http_404.html.example 500 page: http_500.html.example login page: http_loginform.html.example To get the login page you suggested to work, you will need to customize http_loginform.html.example and rename it to http_loginform.html Then edit your client's shortcut and add -loginpage <loginpage address> If you do that correctly, then the viewer will show your loginpage instead of the SecondLife loginpage.
