It really should be.
Even cheap home wifi routers have built-in web servers with I/O capabilities for configuration storage.
It certainly isn't in the category of 'hard'. It's a solved problem.
I didn't say it was technically hard; on the contrary I agree there are no "interesting" problems to solve. What I'm getting at is that even if it is technically straightforward it still is not a trivial exercise to implement this in a production-quality system, if by trivial you meant requiring virtually no effort (which is the normal interpretation).
I'm using the engineering definition of trivial, i.e. not technically hard.
