Overview
A simple, multithreaded experimental HTTP/1.1 (RFC 2616) web server. Developed to experiment with the behavior of user agents and proxies.
The server registers itself with the JVM as an MBean, as "novaordis:service=http-server", so it can be managed via a standard JMX client such as VisualVM or JConsole.

Run
./bin/http-server <port> [document-root]
The document-root is optional, it will sever the current directory if not specified.
Features
The server assumes HTTP/1.1 persistent connections, as described in HTTP Persistent Connections. The server can be configured to close the connection after the initial request/response sequence by specifying "persistent-connections=false" on the command line.
