   7 <h3> Help file for HTTP TestServer/1.1</h3>
   8 The HTTP TestServer is a simple server written to test some special HTTP
   9 behaviour. It is based on a script file (docs/urlmap) and can be easily
  10 extended to add special response situations. <P>
  11
  12 To compile this you will need any version of JDK >1.1.2. Just compile them
  13 with command- <PRE>javac *.java</PRE>
  14 And then run the server with command- <PRE>java TestServer [port]</PRE>
  15 The port is optional and if not specified defaults to 4321.
  16 Assuming that the server is running on http://foo:4321/
  17 Use the following URLs to retrieve special responses. In order to create
  18 your own special case- telnet to foo, and edit the docs/urlmap file to
  19 handle special cases and then add info here about it.
  20 <P>
  21 <center><table WIDTH="80%" >
  22 <tr>
  23 <td><a href="/help">http://foo:4321/help</a></td>
  24 <td>This help file.</td>
  25 </tr>
  26
  27 <tr>
  28 <td><a href="/">http://foo:4321/</a></td>
  29 <td>Default echo of the server. Prints the request out.</td>
  30 </tr>
  31 </table></center>
  32 The subsequent ones may be combined to generate multiple results. NOTE: This
  33 hasn't been fixed as yet. So it won't work for now. But if it did...
  34 You can try something fancy like- http://foo:4321/multi&close&both
  35
  36 <center><table WIDTH="80%" >
  37
  38 <tr>
  39 <td><a href="/multi">http://foo:4321/multi</a></td>
  40 <td>Returns a multipart message.&nbsp;</td>
  41 </tr>
  42
  43 <tr>
  44 <td><a href="/close">http://foo:4321/close</a></td>
  45 <td>Returns "Connection: close" in a response header.</td>
  46 </tr>
  47
  48 <tr>
  49 <td><a href="/both">http://foo:4321/both</a></td>
  50 <td>Returns the request as well as the response headers.</td>
  51 </tr>
  52 </table></center>
