programming the app server

I wish I had done this earlier. While doing the app server, I had to change where my web server was posting to. I would go into my code and just change the url in all of the six or so places every time I needed to change where it was posting to. I decided later that in my user-data script, I would create a python file that would basically return the app server url that the other files in the web server could call to get the url. I wish I had done this earlier rather than later.
