30 ;; httpd.el is an HTTP server embedded in the Emacs. It can handle GET
31 ;; and HEAD requests; adding support for POST should not be too
32 ;; difficult. By default, httpd.el will listen on server side Emacs
33 ;; sockets for HTTP requests.
35 ;; I have only tested this code with Emacs; it may need modifications
36 ;; to work with XEmacs.
40 ;; httpd.el was inspired by pshttpd, an HTTP server written in
41 ;; Postscript by Anders Karlsson <URL:http://www.pugo.org:8080/>.
43 ;; Thanks to John Wiegley and Cyprian Adam Laskowski.
