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

[HTTP server for unit tests](https://developer.mozilla.org/En/HTTP_server_for_unit_tests)
for general information.
