    Is anyone using B. Welch's httpd server?

    I thought I could use it for a very simple use case: start the server,
    define a handler method, and then stop it after a condition is met. I
    have the pdf chapter but I have been quite distracted for some time now
    so some simple, working code would be helpful.

    I know, that some people are using it, but not me.
    The wiki is full of alternate http servers.

    You may check-out Wub.

    I personally use the web server contained in the tclws package.
    But that is due to the fact, that I support it.

    Thanks for all,
    Harald

    I use tclhttpd for cmacleod.me.uk and newsgrouper.org . The documentation
    is a bit thin, I've sometimes had to dig into the source to work out how
    do something, but it works well.

    To serve static pages you can just put html files in the htdocs directory
    and start the server. For dynamic, script-generated content it's probably easiest to start with the Direct_Url method.
