HTTP static server one-liners

I'm pushing the definition of "one liner" here, and it's got some major shortcomings (including directory traversal!), but here's one with Gnu awk: gawk '@load "filefuncs";func send(s,e,d,t,b) {;print "HTTP/1.0 "s" "e|&S;print "Content-Length: "b|&S;print"Content-Type: "t|&S;print d|&S;close(S);}func mt(f) {;c = "file -b --mime-type " f;r="";while ((c|getline z)>0) {;r=r z;} ;close(c);return r;} ;BEGIN {RS=ORS="\r\n";while(1){;S="/inet/tcp/8080/0/0";while((S|&getline l)>0) {;split(l,f,"…

The ruby one with the -run option is a bit nonintuitive in how it works. $ ruby -run -ehttpd . -p8000 The -r option requires un.rb[1] which is a file full of convenience functions, such as httpd in this example. Classic Ruby. Given that go has popularized long args with a single hyphen (-name etc), it is easy to mistake -run as an option by itself. [1] https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/lib/un.rb#L323

Just notice the difference between python2 and python3 simple http server $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000 $ python3 -m http.server 8000 Even the python3 is nicer to read, I really like that they package the server in a module. It's almost twice as slower in my machine. Python2 Benchmark Requests per second: 606.03 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 8.250 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 1.650 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 4412.05 [Kbytes/sec] received And Python3 Benchmark Requests…
