/**
* Defines the JDK-specific HTTP server API, and provides the jwebserver tool
* for running a minimal HTTP server.
*
* <p>The {@link com.sun.net.httpserver} package defines a high-level API for
* building servers that support HTTP and HTTPS. The SimpleFileServer class
* implements a simple HTTP-only file server intended for testing, development
* and debugging purposes. A default implementation is provided via the
* {@code jwebserver} tool and the main entry point of the module, which can
* also be invoked with {@code java -m jdk.httpserver}.
*
* <p>The {@link com.sun.net.httpserver.spi} package specifies a Service Provider
* Interface (SPI) for locating HTTP server implementations based on the
* {@code com.sun.net.httpserver} API.
* <p>
* <b id="httpserverprops">System properties used by the HTTP server API</b>
* <p>
* The following is a list of JDK specific system properties used by the default HTTP
* server implementation in the JDK. Any properties below that take a numeric value
* assume the default value if given a string that does not parse as a number.
* <ul>
* <li><p><b>{@systemProperty sun.net.httpserver.idleInterval}</b> (default: 30 sec)<br>
* Maximum duration in seconds which an idle connection is kept open. This timer
* has an implementation specific granularity that may mean that idle connections are
* closed later than the specified interval. Values less than or equal to zero are mapped
* to the default setting.
* </li>
* <li><p><b>{@systemProperty jdk.httpserver.maxConnections}</b> (default: -1)<br>
* The maximum number of open connections at a time. This includes active and idle connections.
* If zero or negative, then no limit is enforced.
* </li>
* <li><p><b>{@systemProperty sun.net.httpserver.maxIdleConnections}</b> (default: 200)<br>
* The maximum number of idle connections at a time. If set to zero or a negative value
* then connections are closed after use.
* </li>
* <li><p><b>{@systemProperty sun.net.httpserver.drainAmount}</b> (default: 65536)<br>
* The maximum number of bytes that will be automatically read and discarded from a
* request body that has not been completely consumed by its
* {@link com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpHandler HttpHandler}. If the number of remaining
* unread bytes are less than this limit then the connection will be put in the idle connection
* cache. If not, then it will be closed.
* </li>
* <li><p><b>{@systemProperty sun.net.httpserver.maxReqHeaders}</b> (default: 200)<br>
* The maxiumum number of header fields accepted in a request. If this limit is exceeded
* while the headers are being read, then the connection is terminated and the request ignored.
* If the value is less than or equal to zero, then the default value is used.
* </li>
* <li><p><b>{@systemProperty sun.net.httpserver.maxReqHeaderSize}</b> (default: 393216 or 384kB)<br>
* The maximum header field section size that the server is prepared to accept.
* This is computed as the sum of the size of the header name, plus
* the size of the header value, plus an overhead of 32 bytes for
* each field section line. The request line counts as a first field section line,
* where the name is empty and the value is the whole line.
* If this limit is exceeded while the headers are being read, then the connection
* is terminated and the request ignored.
* If the value is less than or equal to zero, there is no limit.
* </li>
* <li><p><b>{@systemProperty sun.net.httpserver.maxReqTime}</b> (default: -1)<br>
* The maximum time in milliseconds allowed to receive a request headers and body.
* In practice, the actual time is a function of request size, network speed, and handler
* processing delays. A value less than or equal to zero means the time is not limited.
* If the limit is exceeded then the connection is terminated and the handler will receive a
* {@link java.io.IOException}. This timer has an implementation specific granularity
* that may mean requests are aborted later than the specified interval.
* </li>
* <li><p><b>{@systemProperty sun.net.httpserver.maxRspTime}</b> (default: -1)<br>
* The maximum time in milliseconds allowed to receive a response headers and body.
* In practice, the actual time is a function of response size, network speed, and handler
* processing delays. A value less than or equal to zero means the time is not limited.
* If the limit is exceeded then the connection is terminated and the handler will receive a
* {@link java.io.IOException}. This timer has an implementation specific granularity
* that may mean responses are aborted later than the specified interval.
* </li>
* <li><p><b>{@systemProperty sun.net.httpserver.nodelay}</b> (default: false)<br>
* Boolean value, which if true, sets the {@link java.net.StandardSocketOptions#TCP_NODELAY TCP_NODELAY}
* socket option on all incoming connections.
* </li>
* <li>
* <p><b>{@systemProperty sun.net.httpserver.pathMatcher}</b> (default:
* {@code pathPrefix})<br/>
*
* The path matching scheme used to route requests to context handlers.
* The property can be configured with one of the following values:</p>
*
* <blockquote>
* <dl>
* <dt>{@code pathPrefix} (default)</dt>
* <dd>The request path must begin with the context path and all matching path
* segments must be identical. For instance, the context path {@code /foo}
* would match request paths {@code /foo}, {@code /foo/}, and {@code /foo/bar},
* but not {@code /foobar}.</dd>
* <dt>{@code stringPrefix}</dt>
* <dd>The request path string must begin with the context path string. For
* instance, the context path {@code /foo} would match request paths
* {@code /foo}, {@code /foo/}, {@code /foo/bar}, and {@code /foobar}.
* </dd>
* </dl>
* </blockquote>
*
* <p>In case of a blank or invalid value, the default will be used.</p>
*
* <p>This property and the ability to restore the string prefix matching
* behavior may be removed in a future release.</p>
* </li>
* </ul>
*
* @apiNote The API and SPI in this module are designed and implemented to support a minimal
* HTTP server and simple HTTP semantics primarily.
*
* @implNote The default implementation of the HTTP server provided in this module is intended
* for simple usages like local testing, development, and debugging. Accordingly, the design
* and implementation of the server does not intend to be a full-featured, high performance
* HTTP server.
*
* @implNote
* Prior to JDK 26, in the JDK default implementation, the {@link HttpExchange} attribute map was
* shared with the enclosing {@link HttpContext}.
* Since JDK 26, by default, exchange attributes are per-exchange and the context attributes must
* be accessed by calling {@link HttpExchange#getHttpContext() getHttpContext()}{@link
* HttpContext#getAttributes() .getAttributes()}. <br>
* A new system property, <b>{@systemProperty jdk.httpserver.attributes}</b> (default value: {@code ""})
* allows to revert this new behavior. Set this property to "context" to restore the pre JDK 26 behavior.
