Im curious: Why are you running a fake HTTP server? To slow down bots for a while or does it serve a higher purpose?

Slow down bots, and to see what garbage they're sending. I keep track of POST data and HTTP headers.

I'm on CenturyLink fiber, they are apparently so incompetent they can't take my money for a static IP address, so whoever is doing HTTP requests is blindly trolling CenturyLink residential IPv4 blocks. Nobody doing this is up to anything legit.
