    My single file HTTP/1.0-ish java http server:

    https://github.com/pablo-mayrgundter/http

    I use it for most of my local dev. Handles only GET requests, serving files below the directory in which the server is started. Does Content-Type inference based on file extensions (e.g. html, js, png, jpg).

    Currently disables any type of cacheing as I use it mostly for local development and want to avoid versioning mistakes.

    Also has fledgling SSL support that has occasionally worked.
