Simple http server

This class implements a trivial http server with some static content.

Note that unlike other protocols and sockets, when dealing with HTTP the msg_data object has a reply() method that must be used.

get_default_handlers()

handle_get(from_addr, msg_type, msg_data)

Handle HTTP GET requests

The HTTP mixin represents requests as a special object with a reply() method that can be used to send a response.
