memoryhttpd
===========
memoryhttpd is an in-memory HTTP server. Resources can be added by using PUT.
It supports multiple hosts.
For example:
```
$ curl -v http://localhost:3000/foo/bar/ -H Host:example.com -X PUT -d 'hello world'
> PUT /foo/bar/ HTTP/1.1
> Host:example.com
> Content-Length: 11
>
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< x-memoryhttpd-action: set
< content-length: 11
< date: Thu, 09 Mar 2023 20:32:07 GMT

hello world
$ curl -v http://localhost:3000/foo/bar/ -H Host:example.com
