An '''embedded [[HTTP server]]''' is a component of a software system that implements the [[Hypertext Transfer Protocol|HTTP]] [[Communications protocol|protocol]]. Examples of usage within an application might be:

* To provide a [[thin- client]] interface for a traditional application..

* To provide [[indexing]]{{dn|date=January 2012}}, [[report]]ing, and [[debugging]] tools during the development stage.

* To implement a protocol for the distribution and acquisition of information to be displayed in the regular interface — possibly a [[web service]], and possibly using [[XML]] as the [[Serialization|data format]].
