Can I get it? Sure, http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/cstein/Packages/weblet.htm - somebody took it up and put it to actual use. I wrote it to win a bet that it's possible to write such a server. Together with mine another server was slashdotted - that one was much more interesting, because it was written in...
