I am trying that, however the problem I have having is that the 
welcome_message is getting printed back on the HTTP client.  I am trying 
to put HTTP authentication in here, too, so I'd like to be able to send 
back text right from the response code (i.e '200 OK...').

I tried nulling out the welcome_message and setting the blank_command to 
a command which does nothing. I even tried sending '200 OK' as the first 
line of #0:do_login_command ... Still, the web browser isn't interpreting 
the '200 OK' as the first piece of data.

Next I'll look at the server source itself.

Any pointers would be appreciated... Thanks!
