NanoHTTPD

NanoHTTPD is a free and open-source HTTP server that's super simple, small, and can easily be embedded in Java applications. It's pretty flexible and allows you to configure it just the way you want!

Key Features of NanoHTTPD

This little server supports the HTTP 1.1 protocol, cookies, file uploads, and even has support for ETags. It also lets you handle persistent connections, which means it can keep using one socket connection for multiple requests. Plus, it can work with GET, POST, DELETE, and HEAD requests!

Additional Capabilities

NanoHTTPD has basic cookie support along with a simple PUT feature. If you're looking for SSL support, there’s experimental functionality for that too! This server also handles multi-value and single parameters effortlessly.

Easy File Uploads

One cool thing about NanoHTTPD is its ability to manage file uploads without much fuss. It automatically converts header names to lowercase and supports temporary files as well. And don't worry about memory – this server has very low overhead!

Versatile Usage

You can use NanoHTTPD as a standalone app to serve files or embed it right into your own Java application by subclassing the serve() method or calling serveFile().

Operating System Compatibility

This handy tool works on Linux, UNIX, Android, and Mac OS X systems. It comes in two versions: one that supports modern standards and another that's compatible with Java 1.1 technology.

Hardware Support

NanoHTTPD has been tested successfully on both 32-bit and 64-bit hardware platforms. So whether you're running an older system or something new, you're covered!
