Painfully slow webserver wanted! [modified]

I use software like NetLimiter[^]. It's a very flexible tool that allows you to selectively shape bandwidth usage per application, per adapter, or any other number of options I'm sure they've added over the years. So I would: 1) Set up a VM with a any old web server. 2) Installet NetLimiter on either the client or the server to throttle the network to emulate poor connections. If it doesn't do response time delays as well, I'm sure there would be a similar tool that does.
This looks pretty perfect to me! Thanks Phil, Iain.

build your own web server, it is pretty simple. Sample HTTP Server Skeleton in C#[^] is a very good starting point. :)

I think this maaaaaay be a little over the top! I have written a pop3 server a while ago, in C, as a challenge. I think I won't repeat it again! Iain.

And yes, digital man[^] I have googled. I'm writing some code that will import a file from a given URL - but I want it to be able to handle horrible network conditions gracefully. Failing connections, slow connections etc. So, I'm after some webserver that I can throttle down to abysmal performance, preferably runnable locally. Any ideas? I can't imagine I'm the first one to want this... Iain. ps. I suppose this is a program related question, but it's about testing, not programming, so I'm dodging the laws! Ner! [Modification: I was more after a server I could run myself, and serve given files slowly, than examples of painful servers in the wild - though those will do in a pinch!]

Maybe try a null modem serial connection from client to web server. Then you can set the connection speed.
