Simple HTTP server class

Instances of the HTTPDaemon class are HTTP/1.1 servers that listen on a socket for incoming requests. The HTTPDaemon is a subclass of IOSocketINET, so you can perform socket operations directly on it too.

The accept method will return when a connection from a client is available. The returned value will be an HTTPDaemonClientConn object which is another IOSocketINET subclass. Calling the get_request method on this object will read data from the client and return an HTTPRequest object. The ClientConn object also provide methods to send back various responses.

This HTTP daemon does not fork2 for you. Your application, i.e. the user of the HTTPDaemon is responsible for forking if that is desirable. Also note that the user is responsible for generating responses that conform to the HTTP/1.1 protocol.
