java.lang.Object | +--sunlabs.brazil.server.Main
Sample main program for starting an http server.
 A new thread is started for each
 Server,
 listening on a socket for HTTP connections.
 As each connection is accepted, a
 Request object is constructed,
 and the registered
 Handler is called.
 The configuration properties required by the server
 and the handler (or handlers),  are gathered
 from command line arguments and configuration files specified on the
 command line. 
 
 The command line arguments are processed in order from left to
 right, with the results being accumulated in a properties object.
 The server is then started with Server.props set to the
 final value of the properties.
 Some of the properties are interpreted directly by the server, 
 such as the port to listen on, or the handler to use
 (see Server for the complete list).  The rest
 are arbitrary name/value pairs that may be used by the handler.
 
 Although any of the options may be specified as name/value pairs, 
 some of them: the ones interpreted by the server, the default
 handler (FileHandler, or Main, 
 may be prefixed with a "-".
 Those options are explained below:
 
sunlabs.brazil.handler.FileHandler)
 root
			property, it is treated specially.  See below.
			If the config file is not found in the filesystem, 
			it is read from the jar file, with this class as the
			virtual current directory if a relative path
			is provided.
 
 Following these options, any additional additional pairs of 
 names and values (no "-"'s allowed) are placed directly in
 Server.props.
 
If the resource "/sunlabs/brazil/server/config" is found, it is used to initialize the configuration.
 If a non absolute root property is specified in a
 configuration file, it is modified to resolve relative to the
 directory containing the configuration file, and not the directory
 in which the server was started.  If multiple configuration files
 with root properties (or -r options, or "root" properties)
 are specified, the last one tekes precedence.
 
The "serverClass" property may be set to the string to use as the server's class, instead of "sunlabs.brazil.server.Server"

FileHandler only delivers files whose suffixes
 are known to map to mime types.  The server is started with 
 the suffixes: .html, .txt, .gif, .jpg, .css, .class, and .jar
 predefined.  If additional types are required, they should be supplied as
 command line arguments.
