Ant is a buildtool. Letting the build waiting for incoming HTTP requests will slow down the build and I dont see any reason why.
So could you please elaborate about your use case? - who will create the http request - what kind of request is it - what data in the requests - what should the 'handler' (Ant/something else?) do with that Maybe Ant is not the right tool for that ... E.g. if a request should start a build, the use of a CI server like Hudson is the better choice.
