The docs for the module say: Defines the JDK-specific HTTP server API, and provides the jwebserver tool > for running a minimal HTTP server. > > The com.sun.net.httpserver > <https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/23/docs/api/jdk.httpserver/com/sun/net/httpserver/package-summary.html> > package > defines a high-level API for building servers that support HTTP and HTTPS. > The SimpleFileServer class implements a simple HTTP-only file server > intended for testing, development and debugging purposes. >
It's not apparent from reading the javadocs that the entire jdk.httpserver module is meant for testing and serving local content. -- Cheers, Josiah.
