J2ME HTTP Server?

[Robert Mark Bram]

Hi All!

Using WTK2.0 or WTK2.1, how can we create a HTTP Server?

When I look at the Javadocs for javax.microedition.io.HttpConnection, I see
that you can open a url for reading.. but I don't see how you can wait to
receive an incoming connection. I was thinking this would be the way to do
it - it seems compatible with the SMS and Socket connection paradigms.

Any advice would be most welcome!

HttpConnection is used to create *client* connections to an HTTP server, not
for receiving connections. If you want to act as an HTTP (or any protocol)
server, you have to open ServerSocketConnection (assuming such is supported
on the device in question, since it's not a required connection type) and
handle the protocol elements yourself.
