You wrote it in the cover letter already, but it won't be available
to "git log" readers.  

Give a bit of explanation on the reason why we do this in the first
place, in other words, what we are shipping an HTTP server with our
source for, before introducing "this is a server".

E.g. "instead of relying on an overly complex Apache with CGI, add a
simple HTTP server based on http.server class that offers THIS AND
THAT BENEFIT FOR OUR PURPOSE to help testing" or something like
that.
