Why bother with an embedded web server? If SourceMod will be so database-driven, as you hint, why not have a separate process access that same database? This would mean you could simply code a php page or a cgi or whatever to be run by apache, and not have to worry about the HTTP protocol. You could offload other things to separate processes also, TK punishing comes to mind.
