I think it was Stig who pointed out that a socket server is not
multithreaded and so should two users attempt to access the same server one
will be disappointed. He showed this by using an htm with three frames to
make 3 simultaneous calls on the server, two frames returning "Page not
found."

As such, the first thing to do with any sas socket server is to code a
piece of middleware that can kludge multithreading, e.g. by spawning
multiple instances of sas with a specific port number allocation that is
communicated back to the browser. This would be workable for up to, say, 10
users.

Or find another way!

(Or only develop for one user).

HTH.
