Pau,

Good work! You known that 'auto-finding port' can be done by issuing a
bind() with address=127.0.0.1 and port=0? The OS will assign a free
port then. I haven't tried it yet, but it could be that if you specify
--http-port=0, this 'works' already (it may currently be impossible to
extract the assigned port, that would probably need an extra function
in the WServer object).

Regards,
Wim.
