When doing

> hg serve -v
listening at http://snoopy:8000/ (0.0.0.0:8000)

and pointing Firefox at http://0.0.0.0:8000/ I get a "Unable to connect"
on my WinXP.

Did you mean "the repository can be accessed at http://127.0.0.1:8000/" ?

I'd prefer (C) or something too. Maybe:

  (D) listening on address *:8000 (try http://localhost:8000/)
                                   ^^^
"try" as a hint that we don't intend to list all possible DNS's.

I can't comment on the code issues you mention, as I'm not qualified
on network programming.
