Answer 1

You can use a framework like Robbie Hanson's CocoaHTTPServer to respond to web requests in an iPhone app. However I think you are trying to ask whether it's possible to to run a web server in the background, without having an app running.

The answer is that it's not possible, unless you have a jailbroken device.
