+The `port` and `name` fields are used to determine the path where our serverless function will be served served.

+In our case, we are running the aWsm runtime on localhost, so our function is available at `http://localhost:10000/fibonacci`
 
-Our fibonacci function expects an HTTP POST body of type "text/plain" which it can parse as an integer to figure out which Fibonacci number we want.
+Our fibonacci function will parse a single argument from the HTTP POST body that we send. The expected Content-Type  is "text/plain" and the buffer is sized to 1024 bytes for both the request and response. This is sufficient for our simple Fibonacci function, but this must be changed and sized for other functions, such as image processing.
