On the other hand, this could be a user error.

I "sourced" the script instead of changing to executable.


There may also be shopt or `set` options that control how `trap` works, 
but I don't care enough to investigate.



Honestly, I'm still amazed it's possible to write an http server in 
bash, my first thought was, "can't be done".


Now, instead, I think "it shouldn't be done".


But on a minimally spec'd router, it makes sense and is a clever idea, 
gotta admit.
