I know it can't simply be one line of code to run a web server? And what kind of web server does it use?

It uses the Jetty Web Server.

If you want to see how few lines of code are required to run a server on your phone/tablet, take a look at the sample that comes with DroidScript
HTTP_Server
Run a web server on your device

If you use the Wi-fi IDE from a Chromebook or PC to write code on your phone, that is served by app.CreateWebServer()

Thank you! Follow up, does Jetty Web Server come built-in with Droidscript? Since I can't find any specific code that hints that I am using Jetty. :)

Yes, Jetty comes built in.

The only reference to it I can think of is in DroidScript's About box, unde Licenses

By any chance do you know the codes necessary to run jetty in a non-Droidscript javascript instance?

DroidScript uses java to run it.

As far as I know that's what it wants but I'm not an expert on Jetty.
