Sources of com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer

Sun JRE contains implementation of simple HTTP server.
(in the com.sun.net.httpserver and sun.net.httpserver packages)


But this "HttpServer":

  • Not a part of Java API.

  • It is Sun's proprietary component

  • It works only under Sun JRE >=1.6

  • His sources are available only as a part of Standard Edition Development Kit Source Release under Java Research License
    (see Java™ Platform, Standard Edition 6u3 Source Snapshot Releases jdk-6u3-fcs-src-b05-jrl-24_sep_2007)


But sometimes this implementation is pretty useful (for example here).
