you need them.)
- Supports parameter parsing of GET and POST methods
- Supports both dynamic content and file serving
- Never caches anything
- Doesn't limit bandwidth, request time or simultaneous connections
- Default code serves files and shows all HTTP parameters and headers
- File server supports directory listing, index.html and index.htm
- File server does the 301 redirection trick for directories without '/'
- File server supports simple skipping for files (continue download)
- File server uses current directory as a web root
- File server serves also very long files without memory overhead
- Contains a built-in list of most common mime types
- All header names are converted lowercase so they don't vary between
browsers/clients

requests
