-Cory,

-Nice work! The poem server works, though there are a few edge cases causing 
-500 errors--mostly in handling cases where the result is not found. A few 
-thoughts on your answers to questions:
-
-> Another situation it might be useful to run the server on my own computer 
-> where I'm the only client on the same computer is to test whether the 
-> serve works the way it should before deploying it to a remote server or 
-> allowing others elsewhere to access it remotely.
-
-Yes! In fact, apps like Zoom often run small servers locally. When you open a 
-zoom link in an email, your calendar, or a web browser, the link actually
-makes a request from your local machine to the zoom server on the same machine--
-which then kicks zoom into gear and opens up the call. 
-
-> With google docs, I assume every time something is typed the location of the 
-> character typed as well as what was typed is posted as a change to the 
-> document on the server, so a route might be "change." Given that google docs 
-> allows for near-real-time remote collaboration, google docs likely gets the 
-> document extraordinarily frequently to make it appear that changes happen 
-> nearly instantly, so a route might be "show." Such a route might also 
-> simultaneously check if the user has access, as a user whose access is 
-> removed can no longer view or edit the document.

-Indeed, real-time collaboration implies that changes are being sent to the 
-server right away. It's not unusual for a webpage (particularly one bloated
-with ads and spyware) to make hundreds of HTTP requests in the course of opening
-a single page--but each request has to send its own headers, and has some 
-other overhead. So real-time collaboration uses a newer protocol called
-WebSockets, which opens up one stream, and continuously sends data back
-and forth. Same with video conferencing. WebRTC is an exciting new protocol
-which makes it much easier to build real-time collaboration into all kinds of
-apps, and to have the streaming go peer-to-peer rather than all through a central
-server.
