Run Your Own Web Server from the Command Line with Bashttpd

A new web server written in bash lets you host your own web content from the command line.

For webmasters and server admins, having a lightweight web server can be a game-changer. Bashttpd, a new open-source project, offers a simple and efficient solution for hosting web content from the command line.

Written in bash, Bashttpd is a minimalist web server that can be easily installed and configured on Linux systems. This makes it an attractive option for developers and server administrators who need a quick and reliable way to host web content.

One of the key benefits of Bashttpd is its ease of use. With a simple `bashttpd` command, you can start serving web content from your current directory. This makes it easy to test web applications, host personal projects, or even create a temporary web server for development purposes.

Bashttpd also supports basic HTTP features, including GET and POST requests, as well as directory listings. However, it's worth noting that Bashttpd is not designed for production use and is intended for development and testing purposes only.
