Hi Christian, Thank you for the reply!
My app will be doing some simple HTTP, with GET and POST requests that has a text response body, e.g. "Received". I think following the mghttpd test will suffice. However, I'm currently looking at the code for the mghttpd test and I was wondering if there is a way I can run it or get a non-test version of it? I can't really tell what I need or what the code does without running it. Cheers.
