I'm not aware of anyone doing anything on this. The main motivation for 
this HTTP server was to support JAX-WS "callbacks" and I don't know if 
got much usage beyond that. The default implementation is limited and 
doesn't support HTTP/2 and several features. That said, it could 
interesting to explore and play with. It has an SPI so you can deploy 
other implementations so that would be one thing to try out. Another 
thing to try is using HttpServer.setExecutor to set an executor that 
creates a virtual thread per request. Is this something you would be 
interested to trying out and report back?
