That's what I figured; I could live with chit-chat over a serial line
for the purposes of this crazy experiment.
The idea is that TECO is used to process a file that contains HTTP
request header and HTTP request body and edits it in-place to replace
it with HTTP response header and HTTP response body.
The communications part isn't the interesting part of this
experiement. The interesting part is the TECO hack.
