You do realize that a 1 cent microcontroller has enough RAM, Flash and processing power to be a web server, correct?

And the term web server doesn't mean it has to run the whole of AWS. It just means it can deliver some content over http.

Yeah, I doubt it's running more than a couple concurrent connections. Idle web servers take very little resources.
