Hi, maybe you can have a look at twisted http://twistedmatrix.com , which is an "event-driven network framework". I think you could easily build your own server to handle your requests, you don't even need an apache webserver for that. Just have a look, there's some documentation/tutorials out there and there's even a book on the framework called "Twisted Network Programming Essentials" which I'm working through atm.
