[imps] validator front end not talking to servlet

OK that sounds good. I always thought the 2 went hand in hand i.e. any
legacy w3c markup validator from v1.2 upwards (which I perceived as "the
front end"), and the valdiator.nu servlet, but if we can do away with the
legacy validator in view of duplication of functionality, all the better.
At this point then, I have stopped the apache which hosted the legacy
markup validator, and fired up the servlet on port 80 like so:
python build/build.py --port=80 --local run &
We can see it's listening:
[root at vp-w3c-validator12 tmp]# netstat -ltunp | grep 80
tcp 0 0 :::80 :::*
LISTEN 4402/java
Even so, I am encountering the same problem as before: although it's
possible to telnet to port 80 on this host from wherever (btw I run the
servlet on port 80 as it's the "generally open" port in our network), it's
still not possible to browse port 80 on this host, not even from the local
machine using any command line browser like lynx, links or w3m.
As I now get a never-ending "HTTP request sent, awaiting response... ", the
next thing would be to try and diagnose the problem using tcpdump.
Can you think of any obvious reason the servlet would not reply to the http
request?
In case anyone can spot anything, this is how it's going down:
[root at vp-w3c-validator12 checker]# python build/build.py --port=80 --local
run &
