*Kapow!* HTTP Interfaces
========================
`kapow server` sets up three HTTP server interfaces, each with a distinct and
clear purpose.
User Interface
--------------
The User HTTP interface is used to serve final user requests.
By default it binds to address ``0.0.0.0`` and port ``8080``, but that can be
changed via the ``--bind`` flag.
Control Interface
-----------------
The Control HTTP interface is used by the command `kapow route` to
administer the list of system routes.
By default it binds to address ``127.0.0.1`` and port ``8081``, but that can be
changed via the ``--control-bind`` flag.
Data Interface
--------------
The Data HTTP interface is used by the commands ``kapow get`` and ``kapow
set`` to exchange the data for a particular request.
By default it binds to address ``127.0.0.1`` and port ``8082``, but that can be
changed via the ``--data-bind`` flag.
