Just wondering why that’s an issue, specifically for HLS.  Java’s built-in web server, the old one at com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer (i.e. it wouldn’t need JDK 18), would work fine.

E.g. something not much more complicated than:

        int port = 8888;
        Path testFilesRoot = Paths.get("media");
        HttpServer server = HttpServer.create(new InetSocketAddress(port), 0);
        server.createContext("/hls", new HttpHandler() {
            @Override
            public void handle(HttpExchange exchange) throws IOException {
                Path path = Paths.get(exchange.getRequestURI().getPath()).getFileName();
                boolean isPlaylist = path.endsWith(".m3u8");
                boolean isTS = path.endsWith(".ts");
                Path assetPath = testFilesRoot.resolve(path);
                byte[] data = Files.readAllBytes(assetPath);
                exchange.getResponseHeaders().add("Content-Type", isPlaylist
                        ? "application/x-mpegURL"
                        : isTS ? "video/MP2T" : "video/mp4");
                exchange.sendResponseHeaders(200, data.length);
                OutputStream os = exchange.getResponseBody();
                os.write(data);
                os.close();
            }
        });
        server.start();

The content would all be short static test files, easily fitting in the byte array. You could grab something from a public domain source (just edit the paths in the .m3u8 files as needed)


Cheers,
