• server.* JBidWatcher can act like an HTTP server, and serve up internal pages, showing the status of auctions, etc., over the web if you want. You’ll need to log into it when you connect remotely (it uses basic authentication, so don’t expect security from eavesdroppers), but then you can view your auctions and set and clear snipes.

• server.enabled=(true|false) If server.enabled is true, then JBidWatcher will act like an HTTP server, and allow serving up a page that shows all the auctions it’s monitoring, and allow you to browse them through the web. Defaults to false, no internal web server.

• server.port=#### What port number to listen on. Defaults to 9099.
