HTTP Server in Scala and Java 7

HTTP server written in Scala using Asynchronous Socket in Java 7. The server reads entire HTTP header in request and responds back with simple HTML. This by no means is meant to provide complete HTTP protocol implementation. The main purpose is to demonstrate the AIO in Java 7 and simplicity of Scala syntax.


And it is also quite performant. Notice the thread pool with one thread only. Using Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool it achieves easily 20kreq/s:

$ ab -c100 -n100000 "http://localhost:8000/"
