    Serves your ``application`` over HTTP(S) via WSGI interface

    ``host``

        This is the ipaddress to bind to (or a hostname if your
        nameserver is properly configured).  This defaults to
        127.0.0.1, which is not a public interface.

    ``port``

        The port to run on, defaults to 8080 for HTTP, or 4443 for
        HTTPS. This can be a string or an integer value.

    ``handler``

        This is the HTTP request handler to use, it defaults to
        ``WSGIHandler`` in this module.

    ``ssl_pem``

        This an optional SSL certificate file (via OpenSSL). You can
        supply ``*`` and a development-only certificate will be
        created for you, or you can generate a self-signed test PEM
        certificate file as follows:

            $ openssl genrsa 1024 > host.key
            $ chmod 400 host.key
            $ openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 365  \
                          -key host.key > host.cert
            $ cat host.cert host.key > host.pem
            $ chmod 400 host.pem

    ``ssl_context``

        This an optional SSL context object for the server.  A SSL
        context will be automatically constructed for you if you supply
        ``ssl_pem``.  Supply this to use a context of your own
        construction.

    ``server_version``

        The version of the server as reported in HTTP response line. This
        defaults to something like "PasteWSGIServer/0.5".  Many servers
        hide their code-base identity with a name like 'Amnesiac/1.0'

    ``protocol_version``

        This sets the protocol used by the server, by default
        ``HTTP/1.0``. There is some support for ``HTTP/1.1``, which
        defaults to nicer keep-alive connections.  This server supports
        ``100 Continue``, but does not yet support HTTP/1.1 Chunked
        Encoding. Hence, if you use HTTP/1.1, you're somewhat in error
        since chunked coding is a mandatory requirement of a HTTP/1.1
        server.  If you specify HTTP/1.1, every response *must* have a
        ``Content-Length`` and you must be careful not to read past the
        end of the socket.

    ``start_loop``

        This specifies if the server loop (aka ``server.serve_forever()``)
        should be called; it defaults to ``True``.

    ``daemon_threads``

        This flag specifies if when your webserver terminates all
        in-progress client connections should be droppped.  It defaults
        to ``False``.   You might want to set this to ``True`` if you
        are using ``HTTP/1.1`` and don't set a ``socket_timeout``.

    ``socket_timeout``

        This specifies the maximum amount of time that a connection to a
        given client will be kept open.  At this time, it is a rude
        disconnect, but at a later time it might follow the RFC a bit
        more closely.

    ``use_threadpool``

        Server requests from a pool of worker threads (``threadpool_workers``)
        rather than creating a new thread for each request. This can
        substantially reduce latency since there is a high cost associated
        with thread creation.

    ``threadpool_workers``

        Number of worker threads to create when ``use_threadpool`` is true. This
        can be a string or an integer value.
