--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 If we implement Stegotorus server as an Apache module, then:

 - the networking part of the program will become simpler.
 - Apache would deal with errors and header parsing etc.
 - Less effort is needed to make Stegotorus looks like Apache.

 On the other hand in stand alone model:

 - You are not depending on Apache and you can use any other type of http
 server or anything else like payloads saved in a file (trace file).
 - You can use an http server that is not installed locally. You can even
 use a random server on Internet, you only need to have http access.
 - We have more flexibility in what we get as request and what we serve as
 a reply.

 I have attached the conversation I had with arma on this matter.
