Building a full-fledged web framework is a lot of work:

* should support multiple formats and mime types (example only returns text/html)
 * need to be more flexible about loading resources (example is hard-coded for index.html)

 * doesn't parse url for query parameters
 * doesn't do any caching, and doesn't set any client cache headers
