Network.Shed.Httpd

A trivial web server.

This web server promotes a Request to IO Response function into a local web server. The user can decide how to interpret the requests, and the library is intended for implementing Ajax APIs.

initServerLazy (and assocated refactorings), and Chunking support was written by Henning Thielemann. Handling of POST-based payloads was been written by Brandon Moore. initServerBind support was written by John Van Enk.
