New description:

 The logfiles argument can be used to simply transmit logfiles from a slave
 to the master. This works  well for text/plain files.

 But if we want to observe a text/html file, the HTML source is escaped as
 text and therefor useless to a viewer.
 Perhaps one should add a simple file type detection (perhaps on file
 ending basis). I think someone has done much work on the logfile handling
 (HTMLLog and HTMLLogFile are already there) but the final glue is missing
 to get the thing working.

Comment:

 This is possible now - this would just be a logfile of type 'h'.
