HttpClient - Use as a server

[Perry Hoekstra <du...@hotmail.com>]

Question: Can HttpClient be used to build a tiny Web Server?  Yes, I know 
that is not the charter of the package.  However, I need to build a tiny Web 
Server that accepts posts on a given port for some testing.  I built  a 
rudimentary socket server but I would like to use something with a little 
more abstraction and ran into HttpClient.

Thoughts?  If not HttpClient, anyone know an open source Java package that 
would provide the ability to build a minimal Web Server of off?

You can try using jetty and integrate into your app. Jetty is rather 
small and easy to use (and open source).
See http://jetty.mortbay.com

Here's a very tiny web server that I have used serveral times over the
last few years... http://acme.com/java/software/Acme.Serve.Serve.html.

Reading the code is also good education.
