OK, I'll try this, but I thought that the HttpConnector expected
the HTTP protocol, and I can't use that (for various reasons).
This isn't a web project, it's going to be used in a totally different
way.
I'd rather base this on the Servlet class, which doesn't have the
overhead of the HttpServlet, though.
