/*
 * Changes :
 * $Log$
 * Revision 1.3  2002/07/12 18:14:16  montrose
 * removed loglevel from global namespace. severity level is set using log() with a NULL format argument now. example: log(LOG_ERR,NULL);
 *
 * Revision 1.2  2002/07/02 09:16:16  arma
 * httpap now prepends dest_addr and dest_port strings with their length.
 *
 * also, it now sets the listening socket option SO_REUSEADDR
 *
 * Revision 1.1.1.1  2002/06/26 22:45:50  arma
 * initial commit: current code
 *
 * Revision 1.4  2002/06/14 20:45:26  mp292
 * Extra debugging message.
 *
 * Revision 1.3  2002/04/02 14:27:33  badbytes
 * Final finishes.
 *
 * Revision 1.2  2002/03/12 23:40:58  mp292
 * Tested.
 *
 * Revision 1.1  2002/03/11 00:21:53  mp292
