New candidate JEP: 408: Simple Web Server

Sun May 9 06:47:12 UTC 2021

Motivated by the summary of JEP 408, I finally wrote a small blog[1]
about an in-memory http handler that I use for testing browsing-related
code via URL.open..., HttpClient, or other ways to read a resource.

The basic idea is to map a prepared response (http code, bytes, and
content-type) to a request path. For example:

  "/index.html" -> "<html><body><h1>Index</h1></body></html>"

Perhaps, this path-asset(resource)-mapping abstraction is useful for
somebody else, too.

Cheers,
Christian
