it appears to do this. if i open <a href="http://xyz";>http://xyz</a> without the service
started, it returns with an error. after i start the service, it just
says loading web page.

i have this disabled since i have a hub running already. the hub see
xplrionet.

there are some syn and/or ack frames coming from the web server so
something is alive. if i start it with a web server port that is
already in use, it complains about that so if i start it with an
unused port it starts fine. so i think the web server is up.

i think a beta build should include logging in case other problems
come up :)
