Hi,

I need to find a free simple small web server for training exercises.

My requirements:
OS:
generic student's Windows (most likely it's Windows XP)

Installation:
It should have no lasting effect on any preinstalled software, e.g.
I copy a single EXE file into any directory (without a
creation of any registry entry).
Then I launch it with a simple command line (batch file).

Functionality:
I will develop the following web application:
1) Receive a request
2) IF a predefined set of parameters was received
THEN send a formatted list of all name/value pairs
back as an HTML page
ELSE send an error page back with an indication
which parameter is missing

Performance:
no requirements

I was overwhelmed by many simple web servers mentioned in this Sep 30

Could you recommend the simplest/smallest web server which meets these
requirements?
