Hi,

Thanks for the solutions Sinatra and Rack look good but need a bit of 
extra installations which I want to avoid for this basic operation...

I like the idea to parse TCP Stram... should I do it in serve()? All I 
get as input in serve is a io object of type TCPSocket how do I parse 
lines from it? Snippet would be of big help...

Thanks,
Sudhi
