[Simpleweb-Support] Modifying server behavior

[Kevin A. S. <ke...@el...>]

I'm using simpleweb for a HTTP proxy project and so far, simpleweb has
been superb to use. My thanks to Niall for creating an immensely useful
library.

I need to modify the simpleweb server behavior in two ways:

1) I'd like to be able to limit the number of threads simpleweb creates
for request processing. I've tried using the advice given here:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5231917&forum_id=38791

but it doesn't appear to have any effect although its entirely possible
that I'm doing something wrong :)

2) Is there a graceful way to shutdown simpleweb? I remember reading in
the archives that this was being considered for a future release. I'm
currently using a JVM shutdown hook, but I'd like something more finely
grained. I'd be willing to investigate this further, if it would help.

Lastly, I've attached a patch which (I think) fixes a couple of variable
name shadowing bugs. The patch should apply cleanly against current CVS.
