Maybe this is ignorant, but perhaps someone can help me better
understand
the relationship of cl-http to port 80 and to other server "demons".

Does cl-http need to "own" port 80, or is there some flexible way it
could be 
useful over other ports?  

The issue is that a lot of potential clients are already committed to
running 
some other primary Web server for some random external reason, so while 
cl-http might offer a lot of value, there's no way it can displace
whatever's 
currently serving www.foo.com.

Would cl-http have to run on a different host, and get linked to from
the "home"
host, or are there other cohabitation models?

The recent note about "uploading" links that can be used to establish
non-WWW 
internet "sessions" (perhaps on other ports or even sockets?) sounded
intriguing
and relevant to our application; is it?

Apologies for the confused questions, but  any clarification would
(obviously) 
be helpful.  Thanks!
