The dcc server protocol works outside of irc, has nothing to do with http, and is not started from DCC...
It is a simple listening socket. A client connects to it and sends the number of the protocol request (100, 110, 120, etc) followed by a nickname that can really be anything, and also maybe a filename, depending on the request. The server replies in a way that is determined by the type of request. The client may have more to say on the matter, but anything sent after that is data.
Seems fairly straightforward to me.
Edit: It is possible that he is confusing the DCC Server with normal DCC, which is understandable. They are not the same. The DCC server does not require IRC at all, which is the point.
