The first invocation of this method locates the default provider object as follows:
 If the system property
   com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServerProvider is defined then it
   is taken to be the fully-qualified name of a concrete provider class.
   The class is loaded and instantiated; if this process fails then an
   unspecified unchecked error or exception is thrown.  
 If a provider class has been installed in a jar file that is
   visible to the system class loader, and that jar file contains a
   provider-configuration file named
   com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServerProvider in the resource
   directory META-INF/services, then the first class name
   specified in that file is taken.  The class is loaded and
   instantiated; if this process fails then an unspecified unchecked error
   or exception is thrown.  
Finally, if no provider has been specified by any of the above means then the system-default provider class is instantiated and the result is returned.
Subsequent invocations of this method return the provider that was returned by the first invocation.
