/**

 * This class implements a simple HTTP server. A HttpServer is bound to an IP address
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    40
 * and port number and listens for incoming TCP connections from clients on this address.
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    41
 * The sub-class {@link HttpsServer} implements a server which handles HTTPS requests.
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    42
 * <p>
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    43
 * One or more {@link HttpHandler} objects must be associated with a server
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    44
 * in order to process requests. Each such HttpHandler is registered
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    45
 * with a root URI path which represents the
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    46
 * location of the application or service on this server. The mapping of a handler
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    47
 * to a HttpServer is encapsulated by a {@link HttpContext} object. HttpContexts
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    48
 * are created by calling {@link #createContext(String,HttpHandler)}.
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    49
 * Any request for which no handler can be found is rejected with a 404 response.
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    50
 * Management of threads can be done external to this object by providing a
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    51
 * {@link java.util.concurrent.Executor} object. If none is provided a default
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    52
 * implementation is used.

    55
 * <b>Mapping request URIs to HttpContext paths</b><p>
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    56
 * When a HTTP request is received,
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    57
 * the appropriate HttpContext (and handler) is located by finding the context
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    58
 * whose path is the longest matching prefix of the request URI's path.
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    59
 * Paths are matched literally, which means that the strings are compared
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    60
 * case sensitively, and with no conversion to or from any encoded forms.
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    61
 * For example. Given a HttpServer with the following HttpContexts configured.<p>

 * <b>Note about socket backlogs</b><p>
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    80
 * When binding to an address and port number, the application can also specify an integer
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    81
 * <i>backlog</i> parameter. This represents the maximum number of incoming TCP connections
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    82
 * which the system will queue internally. Connections are queued while they are waiting to
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    83
 * be accepted by the HttpServer. When the limit is reached, further connections may be
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    84
 * rejected (or possibly ignored) by the underlying TCP implementation. Setting the right
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    85
 * backlog value is a compromise between efficient resource usage in the TCP layer (not setting
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:

 * it too high) and allowing adequate throughput of incoming requests (not setting it too low).
