+-- Simple NodeMCU web server (done is a not so nodeie fashion :-)
+--
+-- Highly modified by Bruce Meacham, based on work by Scott Beasley 2015
+-- Open and free to change and use. Enjoy. [Beasley/Meacham 2015]
+--
+-- Meacham Update: I streamlined/improved the parsing to focus on simple HTTP GET request and their simple parameters
+--  Also added the code to drive a servo/light.  Comment out as you see fit.
+--
+-- Usage: 
+--  Change SSID and SSID_PASSPHRASE for your wifi network
+--  Download to NodeMCU
+--  node.compile("http_server.lua")
+--  dofile("http_server.lc")
+--  When the server is esablished it will output the IP address.
+--  	http://{ip address}/?s0=1200&light=1
+--  s0 is the servo position (actually the PWM hertz), 500 - 2000 are all good values
+--   light chanel high(1)/low(0), some evaluation boards have LEDs pre-wired in a "pulled high" confguration, so '0' ground the emitter and turns it on backwards.
+-- 
+--  Add to init.lua if you want it to autoboot.
