Ok, thanks for letting me know. I've fiddled around ~2 hours to set up a
custom server, but I cannot even get the authentication to work reliably.
`brlapi_server` is quite complex.
Suggestions or a hint about related projects would be great.
In the worst case, we have to craft our own control logic to proceed.
