[Mono-list] recommended http server

[Chris Ochs]

I'll have to take a look at the .net zeromq implementation.   In the past
my experiences using zeromq were not that great, although most of that was
due to how the C/C++ libraries did error handling.  On the java side I'm
using Akka which has built in support for zeromq. So if the .net version
works well, that might be a good alternative.
