First-install notes
- Install it, then start Gunicorn Use pip (the Python package installer) to run `pip install httpbin`, then start the web server with `gunicorn httpbin:app`. Without the Gunicorn command, httpbin is installed but not running, so requests have nothing to answer them. source

Common questions
Which host port does the official local Docker command use?
It uses port 80, mapping the host port 80 to the container port 80.
Do I need to run an additional web server if I install httpbin with pip?
Yes. The docs say to start it with gunicorn httpbin:app. Without Gunicorn, httpbin is installed but not running.
Is there an HTML form available for sending a POST request?
Yes. The site includes an HTML form for posting to the post endpoint.
Which version number is referenced on the main page?
The main page references version 0.9.2.
