there should be a timeout on connections to localhost:23119
I just ran into a strange problem problem: emacs was using 23119 to communicate with aspell, so zotxt did not start the server.
Then, instead of failing to connect, zot4txt was waiting forever for a reply that would never come...
Granted, emacs/aspell could have replied that they didn't understand the HTTP request, but still, a timeout wouldn't hurt.
