BK _is_ an http server. The same daemon you talk to for clones is the
HTTP server. That's one and the same machine.

That's exactly the situation that any busy server has. Which is
why I kept saying "tell me how you made this work for a busy server".
"Busy server" by definition in this context at least means a server that
is getting lots of connection requests from lots of different users.

Why that isn't obvious to you I don't understand. This is bkbits.net.
Yeah, it's not slashdot or anything but there are something like 400
branches of the Linux kernel on it and that's ignoring all other projects.
It's the web server which provides insight into the Linux kernel source
base, of course it is busy.
