The reverse proxy is responsible for controlling public access to the
event streams served by the mini-httpd event server; the event server
itself should not be publically accessible.
+
+Security
+--------
+Virtually none inherent to the server; if you can connect to the server
+you can read and write the vent stream. However, the server does detect
+a connection forwarded through Apache (via the X-Forwarded* headers)
+and denies the UPDATE command.
+
+Bugs
+----
+Does not treat request header fields case-insensitively
+Does not honour the Expect: 100-continue header
+Probably many more.
