			server.lua based on lua/libevent by blastbeat

			notes:
			-- when using luaevent, never register 2 or more EV_READ at one socket, same for EV_WRITE
			-- you cant even register a new EV_READ/EV_WRITE callback inside another one
			-- to do some of the above, use timeout events or something what will called from outside
			-- dont let garbagecollect eventcallbacks, as long they are running
			-- when using luasec, there are 4 cases of timeout errors: wantread or wantwrite during reading or writing
