Check to see if the server port is accessible from the Internet when hosting your own server #56

I have recently created a simple service, portcheck.net, which allows you to check a port's availability. I created it for my NVDARemote.com add-on, but intend to maintain it, improve the visual appearance and advertise it more widely. This site is based off of a very simple API:

http[s]://portcheck.net/port/<number>

Which returns:

{
  "host": "67.177.252.138", 
  "open": false, 
  "port": 5000
}

Thanks for the info! The test would happen when a (simple or public) server is started. The server would issue a local warning with some basic info about how to fix this problem. If the server is not standalone (started from the client interface), the warning would be sent through the speech interface.
