accepting http post without container

[Joe]

I need to put together a class that accepts http posts with out a servlet/jsp
container, I originally thought I could do it with just a Server socket listening
and a socket accepting the connection. I just need it to act like a servlet
without the container. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance, Joe

Yes, it is possible to listen at port 80 and interpret the incoming HTTP
request. I wouldn't do it myself, since web servers already exist for that
purpose, but apparently it isn't terribly difficult to do. You just have to
know the HTTP specs and implement them.
