The code base has nested try catch and redundant code. I did not change anything drastically. Many clients may use 8000 port for their primary webservers. CloudCV can be a part of bigger setup. We should give users the choose on which port they want to run the server.

So the clients have to use 8000 port for the their primary webservers. The reason this nano - webserver is used is for OAuth 2.0 authentication. After the authentication is done on the web-browser, there is a redirect step for which I have to mention a fixed IP in the "Dropbox/Google" App setting. I have fixed it as localhost:8000.

Authentication with a python API by not giving away app's secret key is far from trivial and this is why we needed such a solution.
