No fixed config files, logging, authorization etc. (Implement by yourself if you need them.)
Supports parameter parsing of GET and POST methods
Parameter names must be unique. (Adding support to multiple instance of a parameter is not difficult, but would make the interface a bit more cumbersome to use.)

Supports file upload (since version 1.2, 2010)
Never caches anything
Doesn't limit bandwidth, request time or simultaneous connections
Default code serves files and shows all HTTP parameters and headers
File server supports directory listing, index.html and index.htm
File server does the 301 redirection trick for directories without /
File server supports simple skipping for files (continue download)
File server uses current directory as a web root
File server serves also very long files without memory overhead
Contains a built-in list of most common mime types
All header names are converted lowercase so they don't vary between browsers/clients
Ways to use
Run as a standalone app (serves files from current directory and shows requests)
Subclass serve() and embed to your own program (see HelloServer.java for a simple example)
Call serveFile() from serve() with your own base directory
To test file uploading, try browsing file-upload-test.htm through NanoHTTPD, upload something and watch the console output.
