Code Review 7068416: Lightweight HTTP Server should support TCP_NODELAY

[Chris Hegarty]

Hi Michael,

It has been noticed that there is a perceived delay in response from the 
Lightweight HTTP Server implementation that ships with the JDK, compared 
to other production HTTP Servers. The cause for this delay has been 
identified as the Nagle algorithm buffering the response data until 
there is sufficient data ( not always the case especially for headers ), 
or a timeout occurs that triggers the data to be sent.

CR 7068416 is requesting that a property be provided to allow 
applications to effectively set the TCP_NODELAY socket option on sockets 
being used by the server, i.e. disable Nagle. This is similar to what 
other production HTTP servers provide. For example, see:
