Re: [Simpleweb-Support] should I use SimpleWeb?

[Jeff N. <je...@ne...>]

All in all I think Simple would work fine for your needs... I think  
you'll have a hard time finding a comparable http server with a  
smaller footprint (the core lib is 172Kb).

The only stumbling block you might have is if you require the Servlet  
API, as Simple has its own, similar API.  But it sounds from your  
email that you're pretty flexible.

As far as opening the port, Simple is instantiated with standard Java  
Sockets, so if you can lock down Java Sockets (which I imagine you  
can, but I've never tried), you'll be fine.
