Thanks for being forthright here, Mark. (Mark Wood also suggested the same thing separately.)

Indeed I have used Jetty in the past for embedding, and in fact that was my first thought for this project. But because I use Tomcat for my web applications, I thought maybe I had been ignoring Tomcat on this front. So I went the extra step of trying Tomcat for embedding, thinking maybe it would give me an opportunity to contribute back to this great project as well.

I guess I had assumed that Tomcat was "a great server that supports servlet technology", when in fact it is "a great servlet container that supports serving static files through a default servlet".

I'll think more about this. I have a question about dynamic MIME type determination, but I'll ask it separately.
