/**
* This class implements a simple HTTP server. A HttpServer is bound to an IP address
* and port number and listens for incoming TCP connections from clients on this address.
* The sub-class {@link HttpsServer} implements a server which handles HTTPS requests.
* <p>
* One or more {@link HttpHandler} objects must be associated with a server
* in order to process requests. Each such HttpHandler is registered
* with a root URI path which represents the
* location of the application or service on this server. The mapping of a handler
* to a HttpServer is encapsulated by a {@link HttpContext} object. HttpContexts
* are created by calling {@link #createContext(String,HttpHandler)}.
* Any request for which no handler can be found is rejected with a 404 response.
* Management of threads can be done external to this object by providing a
* {@link java.util.concurrent.Executor} object. If none is provided a default
* implementation is used.
* <p>
* <a id="mapping_description"></a>
* <b>Mapping request URIs to HttpContext paths</b><p>
* When a HTTP request is received,
* the appropriate HttpContext (and handler) is located by finding the context
* whose path is the longest matching prefix of the request URI's path.
* Paths are matched literally, which means that the strings are compared
* case sensitively, and with no conversion to or from any encoded forms.
* For example. Given a HttpServer with the following HttpContexts configured.
* <table class="striped"><caption style="display:none">description</caption>
* <thead>
* <tr><th scope="col"><i>Context</i></th><th scope="col"><i>Context path</i></th></tr>
* </thead>
* <tbody>
* <tr><th scope="row">ctx1</th><td>"/"</td></tr>
* <tr><th scope="row">ctx2</th><td>"/apps/"</td></tr>
* <tr><th scope="row">ctx3</th><td>"/apps/foo/"</td></tr>
* </tbody>
* </table>
* <p>
* the following table shows some request URIs and which, if any context they would
* match with.
* <table class="striped"><caption style="display:none">description</caption>
* <thead>
* <tr><th scope="col"><i>Request URI</i></th><th scope="col"><i>Matches context</i></th></tr>
* </thead>
* <tbody>
* <tr><th scope="row">"http://foo.com/apps/foo/bar"</th><td>ctx3</td></tr>
* <tr><th scope="row">"http://foo.com/apps/Foo/bar"</th><td>no match, wrong case</td></tr>
* <tr><th scope="row">"http://foo.com/apps/app1"</th><td>ctx2</td></tr>
* <tr><th scope="row">"http://foo.com/foo"</th><td>ctx1</td></tr>
* </tbody>
* </table>
* <p>
* <b>Note about socket backlogs</b><p>
* When binding to an address and port number, the application can also specify an integer
* <i>backlog</i> parameter. This represents the maximum number of incoming TCP connections
* which the system will queue internally. Connections are queued while they are waiting to
* be accepted by the HttpServer. When the limit is reached, further connections may be
* rejected (or possibly ignored) by the underlying TCP implementation. Setting the right
* backlog value is a compromise between efficient resource usage in the TCP layer (not setting
* it too high) and allowing adequate throughput of incoming requests (not setting it too low).
