					First, the callbacks for the listening server are defined. The most important of those is the

					no processing needed for them.</p>

					Finally, the cNetwork:Listen() API function is used to create the listening server. The status of

			specific event happens during the request and response lifetime. See the Simple Callback and Callback
			Table chapters later on this page for details and examples.</p>
