tcp server to serve http reqs

[Paul Fi]

im making a tcp server and tcp client to exchange Http messages is it
possible? if so how

from what i know that Http is an app protocol and sits above TCP so how
can i take advantage of that in .Net in building a tcp server app that
serves Http requests or messages?

You can do this quite easy, you just need to speak "HTTP 1.1".

Try to look for examples with java, there should be many around.

About HTTP : http://www.perlfect.com/articles/http.shtml

And here a java web server example :

A normal Web Server can handle about 800 HTTP request per second, I often
wonderd how many can be handled if you make you own simple HTTP server .
Please tell me here in this thread if you find out.
