+ the servlet interface
+ an actual servlet for the AnomicHTTPD must provide a class that implements
+ this interface. The resulting class is then placed in a folder that contains
+ all servlets and is configured in the httpd.conf configuration file.
+ servlet classes in that directory are then automatically selected as CGI
+ extensions to the server.
+ The core functionality of file serving is also implemented as servlet.

+ The GET method means retrieve whatever information (in the form of an
+ entity) is identified by the Request-URI. If the Request-URI refers
+ to a data-producing process, it is the produced data which shall be
+ returned as the entity in the response and not the source text of the
+ process, unless that text happens to be the output of the process.
+
+ The semantics of the GET method change to a "conditional GET" if the
+ request message includes an If-Modified-Since, If-Unmodified-Since,
+ If-Match, If-None-Match, or If-Range header field. A conditional GET
+ method requests that the entity be transferred only under the
+ circumstances described by the conditional header field(s). The
+ conditional GET method is intended to reduce unnecessary network
+ usage by allowing cached entities to be refreshed without requiring
+ multiple requests or transferring data already held by the client.
+
+ The semantics of the GET method change to a "partial GET" if the
+ request message includes a Range header field. A partial GET requests
+ that only part of the entity be transferred, as described in section
+ 14.35. The partial GET method is intended to reduce unnecessary
+ network usage by allowing partially-retrieved entities to be
+ completed without transferring data already held by the client.

+ The HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server MUST NOT
+ return a message-body in the response. The metainformation contained
+ in the HTTP headers in response to a HEAD request SHOULD be identical
+ to the information sent in response to a GET request. This method can
+ be used for obtaining metainformation about the entity implied by the
+ request without transferring the entity-body itself. This method is
+ often used for testing hypertext links for validity, accessibility,
+ and recent modification.
+
+ The response to a HEAD request MAY be cacheable in the sense that the
+ information contained in the response MAY be used to update a
+ previously cached entity from that resource. If the new field values
+ indicate that the cached entity differs from the current entity (as
+ would be indicated by a change in Content-Length, Content-MD5, ETag
+ or Last-Modified), then the cache MUST treat the cache entry as
+ stale.

+ /*
+ The POST method is used to request that the origin server accept the
+ entity enclosed in the request as a new subordinate of the resource
+ identified by the Request-URI in the Request-Line. POST is designed
+ to allow a uniform method to cover the following functions:
+
+ - Annotation of existing resources;
+
+ - Posting a message to a bulletin board, newsgroup, mailing list,
+ or similar group of articles;
+
+ - Providing a block of data, such as the result of submitting a
+ form, to a data-handling process;
+
+ - Extending a database through an append operation.
+
+ The actual function performed by the POST method is determined by the
+ server and is usually dependent on the Request-URI. The posted entity
+ is subordinate to that URI in the same way that a file is subordinate
+ to a directory containing it, a news article is subordinate to a
+ newsgroup to which it is posted, or a record is subordinate to a
+ database.
+
+ The action performed by the POST method might not result in a
+ resource that can be identified by a URI. In this case, either 200
+ (OK) or 204 (No Content) is the appropriate response status,
+ depending on whether or not the response includes an entity that
+ describes the result.
+
+ If a resource has been created on the origin server, the response
+ SHOULD be 201 (Created) and contain an entity which describes the
+ status of the request and refers to the new resource, and a Location
+ header (see section 14.30).
+
+ Responses to this method are not cacheable, unless the response
+ includes appropriate Cache-Control or Expires header fields. However,
+ the 303 (See Other) response can be used to direct the user agent to
+ retrieve a cacheable resource.
+
+ POST requests MUST obey the message transmission requirements set out
+ in section 8.2.
