Hi Ashton, Your optimism seems misplaced;  I heard several suggestions that you pick another web server to depend on.  The http server is an unsupported utility; nothing more. BTW, my mailer marks this email as a possible scam because the link is malformed. Also, the mention of jdk6 is an

Based on the responses received so far, it sounds like there are no reservations about the below 4 points. I believe it's safe to assume that everyone is in agreement that the below 4 points are good to go with On Tuesday, 20 February 2018, 16:15:56 GMT, Ashton Hogan wrote: These ite

David, I understand that you don't use this feature of the JDK and that's absolutely fine. I'm not the type of person to impose my way of doing things on anyone. I hope that you aren't either. There are obviously many people in the community that DO love and use this httpserver for many reasons
