how about copying the world files over to single player and go from there 
and isn't there a seed area in server.properties and I believe there is a seed when you create a SP game.

Yes, if you own the server. But I like to replicate locally the worlds of the servers I play on, to 'study' site-specific building solutions.
I use to ask the server owner for the world seed and usually (s)he is kind enough to search for it and send it to me, but I think it would not be
to complex to add it to the HttpServer response.

The seed is listed in the single player list of local world, but it is not listed in the multiplayer list of servers. I do not need it there, only in the HTTP response, not to crowd the in-game server list with data for which the majority of the players do not care.
for the servers that you don't own you could ask the owners what seed they used. but if they are like me and inherited the server they may not know. When the seed is specified in words and not numbers in the server.properties, and I did not set the server up originally, the seed might not be known. Just trying to help.
Some owners might not want that info given out too.

This is what I usually do.

The world seed is listed in the server log around line 30.

Possible, but (in my experience) not likely: all server owners to whom I asked were kind enough to spend time in finding it and telling it to me. After all, it isn't a privacy/security sensitive piece of info...
