Reference HTTP server in u2f-ref-code is out of date

[juanlang]

Reported by STMicro, the standalone reference server doesn't actually work at the moment. It should be fixed, or removed in favor of the GAE server.

The reference server is useful for simpler testing, since running a local GAE server requires the appengine SDK.

The problem is that it is hardcoded to use http://localhost:8080 as the appId, which does not work with the new eTLD+1 policy. Simplest solution is to make the user specify an appId on the command line, or in the code. Any better ideas?

Command line settings like a fine idea no?

A simpler solution is to treat localhost specially.

Closing this.

The u2f-ref-code standalone server doesn't work, but not for this reason. The bug described here I don't think is an actual bug.
