Provides an HTTP server written in JavaScript for the Mozilla platform, which can be used in unit tests. The most basic usage is: var {startServerAsync} = require("httpd"); var srv = startServerAsync(port, basePath); require("unload").when(function cleanup() { srv.stop(function() { // you should continue execution from this point. }) }); This starts a server in background (assuming you're running this code in an application that has an event loop, such as Firefox). The server listens at http://localhost:port/ and serves files from the specified directory. You can serve static content or use SJS scripts, as described in documentation on developer.mozilla.org. You can also use `nsHttpServer` to start the server manually: var {nsHttpServer} = require("httpd"); var srv = new nsHttpServer(); // further documentation on developer.mozilla.org See [HTTP server for unit tests](https://developer.mozilla.org/En/HTTP_server_for_unit_tests) for general information.
