Dynamic Web Server port assignment

Part of our app. creates a "callback" web server, for receiving asynchronous 
event notification.

I'd like to have the WebServer class pick a dynamic port for me, and from what I 
can see if a pass a port number of "0" into the constructor it will do this. Snag is, 
the serverSocket field is a protected variable and there's no getXXX method to 
gbet the actual port number assigned. Seems I can probably subclass 
WebServer to get around this, but wondered if anyone felt it merited inclusion in 
the base class.
