Hi Oleg,
thankyou for the complete reply. I'm searching for a fun project,
and i
thinked of yet another http server. You gave me very good pointers
on this
to experiment with http-core. If i find something interesting i will
inform
you.
Many thanks Oleg

Hi ML,
is there anybody that use http-core as base for a http server?
Welcome back, Andrea!
There are several projects I am aware of that use HttpCore for
their server
side HTTP transport implementations: Apache Axis2, Apache Synapse,
Limewire,
Little Portal Gizmo. I am sure there must be others. While Synapse
and
Limewire represent some sort of a hybrid solution, Simple HTTP
server of
Axis2 and Little Portal Gizmo can be considered 'real' HTTP
servers. By
hybrid I mean something that serves as both client and server.
I do believe HttpCore makes a reasonable platform for custom hybrid
solutions like HTTP proxies, gateways, peer-to-peer agents. At the
same time
I doubt it can (should) compete with Jetty in the lightweight HTTP
server
space.
I think the design of this libraries is very good, and create yet
another
http server could be good idea for two reason:
1) http-core is small, and a http server for embedded devices
could take
this advantage in size and performance. Android use http-core but
doesn't
have a usefull small web server.
2) the good device of http-core could influence also the design of
this
small server.
With http-server i means a Servlet implementation.
Development of a servlet engine would be a _major_ undertaking. I
am also
not entirely convinced this world needs another servlet engine
given how
good Tomcat and Jetty are. However I am sure it would a fun project
to work
on. Another possibility for a fun project _might_ be taking a popular
framework such as Wicket or Tapestry 5 that abstract away servlet
API behind
a higher level API and trying to put it on top of HttpCore.
Cheers
