Servers

Why

---

Often when you write a server application things do not go as expected.

I've found that it's a big help to have a stupid echo server which just prints

the request. It doesn't need to respond with anything specific, just output headers

and the request.

In this repository you'll find a simple echo server implemented in common languages.

How

---

Some servers are implemented using a web server (node.js for example) while some use

a simple server socket (ruby for example).

Some output just the `HTTP/1.0 200 OK` while some add some headers, it depends on the

language/framework.

The goal is to have no dependencies beside the bare minimum and that all servers can be started using `./server. [port=8080] [host=127.0.0.1]` with the host and port being optional.

Of course this isn't possible in all languages (compiled languages).
