(check-in: e2d87cdd76 user: drh tags: forum-v2)

18:58
New options to the "fossil http" command: --in FILE, --out FILE, --ipaddr ADDRESS, and --nodelay. Use the --in, --out, and --inaddr options for subprocesses that handle HTTP requests via file I/O.

Clarify the difference between fossil_fatal() and fossil_panic(). The fossil_panic() interface puts a message on the error log when generating webpages. Otherwise the two routines are identical.
