Question with simultaneous Web Servers and AP's.

I don't see that you'll have a big problem.. You can...

• Start up AP
  
• Start the Web Server
  
• User enters details
  
• Feedback to user
  
• Close Server, start connection
  
• User's browser polls server to see if it's back yet
  
• connection succeeds(or fails) and server is restarted
  
  

So I think what you're after shouldn't be a big problem...
