About the project:
I started the project, because I had the need for a simple web server. I often need to send a file, or more files, over a lan network. But it has always been a burden to send it using MSN. The first idea was to create it using C, but that proved to be complicated. Then I ran into a java socket example and started adapting it. This project is the result of all that coding.
When making the first versions of the server I found a few problems. I wanted to create a small server, but also the ability to load plugins. That resulted in a new class, with this the program dynamically loads the plugins from class files. I assume that the class structure will have to be changed when new problems appear.
This server is NOT to be used as a true 24/7 webserver. The current version is not yet stable, and a java-based webserver isn't a good idea. If you want an 24/7 webserver install apache2.
