Sure, I'll pit my old "SimpleHttpServer.class" against Jetty any time! Just look
at these features:

1) No servlet support
2) No HTTP 1.1 support
3) No POST method supprt
4) No Query String processing
5) No (fill in blank with anything cool) support

But it successfully served html files, JPEGs, and GIFs (including applets! I mean
of course it did applets too but that struck me as cool at the time), and it was
only 3,200 bytes, and I was pretty proud of myself.

Jetty? Pshaw, I got yer Jetty right heah

Back in those good old days when the U in URL actually meant something!
Not too sure if Jetty can still serve requests that don't have some kind 
of bell or whistle nailed onto them somewhere???  I think I respond to
simple GET requests with:

HTTP/9.9 666 SC_DO_YOU_WANT_FRIES_WITH_THAT.
