# Claro Web Server Plan
Current release: **Claro v1.18.26**
Claro currently has beginner HTTP client commands and offline `claro://` test URLs. A web server API is not complete yet.
## Ready now
- `HTTP CHECK`
- `HTTP GET`
- `HTTP SAVE`
- offline `claro://hello` and related lesson/test URLs
- `LASTHTTP`
- real `http://` and `https://` requests through `curl` when available
## Web server goals
A beginner web server should make tiny local apps possible without exposing learners to unsafe network defaults.
Desired properties:
- localhost-only by default
- readable route syntax
- simple request/response values
- friendly port-in-use errors
- easy stop behavior
- examples that work offline
## Possible future syntax sketch
```claro
WEB START LOCAL PORT 8080
WHEN GET "/"
WEB SAY "Hello from Claro"
END
WEB WAIT
```
This is a sketch, not a committed syntax.
## Needed before implementation
- route syntax decision
- request value model
- response helpers
- safe defaults for host/port
- tests for port conflicts and malformed requests
- docs explaining localhost vs public internet
