An HTTP server.

bind_addr: The interface on which to listen for connections.
    For TCP sockets, a (host, port) tuple. Host values may be any IPv4
    or IPv6 address, or any valid hostname. The string 'localhost' is a
    synonym for '127.0.0.1' (or '::1', if your hosts file prefers IPv6).
    The string '0.0.0.0' is a special IPv4 entry meaning "any active
    interface" (INADDR_ANY), and '::' is the similar IN6ADDR_ANY for
    IPv6. The empty string or None are not allowed.
    
    For UNIX sockets, supply the filename as a string.
gateway: a Gateway instance.
minthreads: the minimum number of worker threads to create (default 10).
maxthreads: the maximum number of worker threads to create (default -1 = no limit).
server_name: defaults to socket.gethostname().

request_queue_size: the 'backlog' argument to socket.listen();
    specifies the maximum number of queued connections (default 5).
timeout: the timeout in seconds for accepted connections (default 10).
nodelay: if True (the default since 3.1), sets the TCP_NODELAY socket
    option.
protocol: the version string to write in the Status-Line of all
    HTTP responses. For example, "HTTP/1.1" (the default). This
    also limits the supported features used in the response.


SSL/HTTPS
---------
You must have an ssl library installed and set self.ssl_adapter to an
instance of SSLAdapter (or a subclass) which provides the methods:
    wrap(sock) -> wrapped socket, ssl environ dict
    makefile(sock, mode='r', bufsize=-1) -> socket file object
