Does anyone have context on jdk.httpserver?

That is reasonable - but somehow I missed that reply (regarding OCA, etc). 

More than willing to sign the OCA for a PR. 

As to the code from another project - clearly that wouldn’t work - so I was thinking more about changes that would allow someone to supply a websockets impl outside of the jdk. 

Anyway, thanks for the update - I’ll need to go back and see why I missed it - I thought I had just been ignored :)

In addition, I think you said in one of the mails that it includes code from another project (for websocket or HTTP upgrade?) and it's a big deal to have to import and work through the license issues with 3rd party code.
