31 ;; httpd.el is an HTTP server embedded in the Emacs. It can handle GET
32 ;; and HEAD requests; adding support for POST should not be too
33 ;; difficult. By default, httpd.el will listen on server side Emacs
34 ;; sockets for HTTP requests.
36 ;; I have only tested this code with Emacs; it may need modifications
37 ;; to work with XEmacs.
39 ;; This version has been modified to work with GNU Emacs 21 and 22.
43 ;; httpd.el was inspired by pshttpd, an HTTP server written in
44 ;; Postscript by Anders Karlsson <URL:http://www.pugo.org:8080/>.
46 ;; Thanks to John Wiegley and Cyprian Adam Laskowski.
