sws: Simple Small Static Stupid Whatever Web Server
===================================================
I was learning about sockets and network programming (yes, [Beej's guide](http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/))
and decided to implement a tiny HEAD GET only http server as exercise.
the idea was to mimic and maybe improve what you can do with the command:
$ python3 -m http.server
it speaks HTTP/1.0 (more or less) and it will accept HTTP/1.1 requests, anything
else will be rejected.
features
========
- Connection keep-alive
- range requests (only one byte range is allowed)
- If-Modified-Since
- directory listing
- custom index page file (default index.html)
install / uninstall
===================
to install inside directory `/usr/local/bin/` run
$ make install
to uninstall run
$ make uninstall
usage
=====
to serve your current working directory at http://localhost:8080 run
$ sws
to serve directory `/foo/bar` at http://localhost:8080 run
$ sws -r /foo/bar
to serve directory `/foo/bar` at http://localhost:6666 using file `home.html`
as index page run
$ sws -r /foo/bar -p 6666 -i home.html

please don't use this thing in any real world environment! I use it inside my
LAN to share files, stream videos and to play around with static websites.
