My guess is, his broadband terms of service prohibit "running a web
server", the spirit of which is to not run it on an open port and chew
up a bunch of bandwidth. I can't imagine a scenario where it would be
illegal to run one on a port only open to the local machine (though,
this wouldn't be the first time I was surprised by the practices of a
cable monopoly).


Yep we have Cox here as our sole cable provider in our area of
Virginia.

Port 80 is blocked (I used to have Apache on my machine and pointed it
to port 8080, until that got blocked and then to 8081, until my machine
caught some nasty viruses and I had to uninstall Apache altogether.

Basically you could, in theory, use a different port, but Cox makes it
clear that you're not supposed to and will make sure, in the long run,
that you don't (again, port 8080 was blocked, so I figured I wasn't
going to have much love trying any other port until I got caught too
many times, and where I live now I do not own the Cox cable Internet
account, so I have no say in what I can and cannot do even moreso now)

I would harbor a guess that it's perfectly safe and legal, and possibly
wise, for Phil to try and run the same web server on his machine locally
as he is running elsewhere. He seems quite befuddled by the differences
between running a script via wish and via a web server.

I would think the difference is that running a script via Wish is to do
TCL-based evaluation on a TCL script whereas running a script via web
server would infer that there is some means of TCL interpretation via
applications that are called by the web server in order to process the
information and spawn an HTML-based browser-packaged return text for
client-based browser processing.
