JEP proposed to target JDK 18: 408: Simple Web Server

[Eric Bresie]

Given more emphasis on security in recent years, would https support be
worth including as well?  Or is this intentionally out of scope and adds
unwanted complexity to the “Simple Web Server” intent of the JEP?

Does this overlap/depend on changes to recent JEP-321 (
https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/321 ) changes?

As an aspiring JDK committee/reviewer, I know I don’t yet meet the
“Committers or Reviewer” critters but was hoping the input is still valid.
If this is not the place to provide such input I would welcome know where
to do so..
