This website is completely unusable when you have JS disabled, which 
disqualifies it as a credible software source in my eyes.

Anyway, the download page links to a file with a suspicious size:

$ wget -q http://www.compcodenet.com/data/compcodenet-webserver-src-code.zip
$ wc -c < compcodenet-webserver-src-code.zip
65536

And the file fails to unpack:

$ unzip compcodenet-webserver-src-code.zip
Archive:  compcodenet-webserver-src-code.zip
 End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
 a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
 latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
 the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of compcodenet-webserver-src-code.zip or
       compcodenet-webserver-src-code.zip.zip, and cannot find compcodenet-webserver-src-code.zip.ZIP, period.

Do you have estimate how many people use this server, apart from you? 
What I've seen so far makes me feel that the number is 0, making it very 
poor candidate for a Debian package.
