✨ This library is no longer maintained, try simplehttpserver5. ✨

SimpleHttpServer

A simplified implementation of the sun http server for JDK11.
This library simplifies complex operations for both the server, exchange, and handlers.
Documentation • Issues

Setup

Compiled binaries can be found on Maven Central.

For projects built locally, compiled binaries can also be found in releases.

Features

📋 Complicated tasks made easy

Simplified exchange methods for:

Parsing HTTP GET/POST with multipart/form-data support.
Output stream writing with #send.
Sending gzip compressed responses.
Sending files

SimpleHttpHandler handler = new SimpleHttpHandler(){

    @Override
    public void handle(SimpleHttpExchange exchange){
        Map POST = exchange.getPostMap();

        MultipartFormData form = exchange.getMultipartFormData();
        Record record = form.getRecord("record");
        FileRecord file = (FileRecord) form.getRecord("file");

        exchange.send(new File("OK.png"), true);
    }

};

⭐ Extended Features

Out of the box support for:

HTTP Cookies
HTTP Sessions
Multithreaded Servers

SimpleHttpServer server = new SimpleHttpServer(8080);
server.setHttpSessionHandler(new HttpSessionHandler());

HttpHandler handler = new HttpHandler(){

    @Override
    public void handle(HttpExchange exchange){
        HttpSession session = server.getHttpSession(exchange);
        String session_id = session.getSessionID();

        Map<String,String> cookies = exchange.getCookies();

        exchange.close();
    }

};

💻 Simplified Handlers

Easy to use handlers:

Redirect Handler
Predicate Handler
File Handler
Server-Sent-Events Handler
Temporary Handler
Throttled Handler

RedirectHandler redirect = new RedirectHandler("https://github.com/");

FileHandler fileHandler = new FileHandler();
fileHandler.addFile(new File("index.html"));
fileHandler.addDirectory(new File("/site"))

SSEHandler SSE = new SSEHandler();
SSE.push("Server sent events!");

ThrottledHandler throttled = new ThrottledHandler(new HttpHandler(), new ServerExchangeThrottler())
