Re: HttpService 2.3 implementation?

Hi there,
thanks for the hints, I tried the Jetty implementation over at OBR, and it 
works like a charm. What is the rationale behind the clean HTTP service 
implementation here in Eclipse? As Simon pointed out, there are a few very 
good web servers around, why not embed one of them?
