  1. To show that it could be done
  2. Because it was fun, and 
  3. So I could write a paper about it

Note that this list does *not* include 

  4. So I could use it

However, several people have found the web server useful and are using
it, either as the basis of further research, or in some cases as the
basis for a real production web server.

It isn't a production web server, as you noticed, but it's a start.

Cheers,
        Simon
