NanoHTTPD Description

NanoHTTPD is a free, simple, tiny, nicely embeddable HTTP server in Java. NanoHTTPD is a free, simple, tiny, nicely embeddable HTTP server in Java.Why another Java HTTPD?I couldn't find a small enough, embeddable and easily modifiable HTTP server that I could just copy and paste into my other Java projects. Every one of them consisted of dozens of .java files and/or jars, usually with - from my point of view - "overkill features" like servlet support, web administration, configuration files, logging etc.So I made my own. Take it, hopefully you'll find it useful, too.Here are some key features of "NanoHTTPD":· Only one Java file· Java 1.1 compatible· Released as open source, Modified BSD licence· No fixed config files, logging, authorization etc. (Implement by yourself if you need them.)· Supports parameter parsing of GET and POST methods· Parameter names must be unique. (Adding support to multiple instance of a parameter is not difficult, but would make the interface a bit more cumbersome to use.)· Supports both dynamic content and file serving· Never caches anything· Doesn't limit bandwidth, request time or simultaneous connections· Default code serves files and shows all HTTP parameters and headers· File server supports directory listing, index.html and index.htm· File server does the 301 redirection trick for directories without /· File server supports simple skipping for files (continue download)· File server uses current directory as a web root· File server serves also very long files without memory overhead· Contains a built-in list of most common mime types· All header names are converted lowercase so they don't vary between browsers/clientsWays to use· Run as a standalone app (serves files from current directory and shows requests)· Subclass serve() and embed to your own program· Call serveFile() from serve() with your own base directory
