\details{
The actual server is written in Tcl such that it runs in a non-blocking
mode, which means that the R prompt will be available for other things.
This class is tightly coupled with the source code of the Tcl script.
For security reasons, the server only accept connections from the
local host (127.0.0.1). This lowers the risk for external computers
to gain access to the R session.
This is asserted by the \code{accept_connect} Tcl procedure in
r-httpd.tcl (located in \code{system.file("tcl/", package="R.rsp")}).
If access from other hosts are wanted, then this procedure needs to
be modified.
The Tcl server was written by Steve Uhlers, and later adopted for R by
Philippe Grosjean and Tom Short (Rpad package author) [1].
