class Net_API HTTPServer: public TCPServer
	/// A subclass of TCPServer that implements a
	/// full-featured multithreaded HTTP server.
	///
	/// A HTTPRequestHandlerFactory must be supplied.
	/// The ServerSocket must be bound and in listening state.
	///
	/// To configure various aspects of the server, a HTTPServerParams
	/// object can be passed to the constructor.
	///
	/// The server supports:
	///   - HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1
	///   - automatic handling of persistent connections.
	///   - automatic decoding/encoding of request/response message bodies
	///     using chunked transfer encoding.
	///
	/// Please see the TCPServer class for information about
	/// connection and thread handling.
	///
	/// See RFC 2616 <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616.html> for more
	/// information about the HTTP protocol.
