Another beneficial side effect of using something like tcpserver is 
that you can test your code without necessarily running it over a 
network connection... in other words, because your script only external 
dependencies are io.stdin and io.stdout, you can very well run your 
HTTP server or what not as a regular Lua script directly from the 
command line for testing purpose...

Instead of:

% ./tcpserver 0 1080 lua TestHTTP.lua

One could run it directly from the command line:

% lua TestHTTP.lua

GET / HTTP/1.1
