Text based web server.

A little http web server to play with. Might be perfect for an embedded system. What the http client looks like,


 $ elinks http://localhost:10000


Update:

Using graphics via Firefox:


What the server side looks like.

$ ./httpsrvr
Server started at port no. 10000 with root directory as /home/eddie
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:10000
User-Agent: ELinks/0.12~pre5-7ubuntu1 (textmode; Ubuntu; Linux 3.2.0-30-generic i686; 80x24-2)

[code]
/*
This is a very simple HTTP server. Default port is 10000 and ROOT for the server is your current working directory..

You can provide command line arguments like:- $./httpsrvr -p [port] -r [path]

for ex. 
$./httpsrvr -p 50000 -r /home/
to start a server at port 50000 with root directory as "/home"

$./httpsrvr -r /home/eddie
starts the server at port 10000 with ROOT as /home/eddie

You actually can do a minimal windowing from the command line in Linux with dvtm. Dvtm is excellent for low end machines where graphics are not a priority. In the picture shown we have a working clock, SC a spreadsheet that you can easily export data to your favorite desktop spreadsheet such as Libreoffice, Links2 a web browser pointed to www.google.com, and finally nano a pretty decent basic text editor. I prefer vim, but nano has more of a user interface. Cheatsheet: `dvtm` is one simple, easy-to-use terminal multiplexer. Commonly used Options:     -v         prints version information to standard output, then exits.         -m <mod>   set default modifier at runtime.         [cmd...]   Execute cmd after dvtm is started. KeyBoard Shortcuts:     Mod    Each keybinding begins with Mod which defaults to ^...

Raspberry pi zero.

Instead of getting the rpi zero w, I will just add a usb female to my existing pi for the time being.Have lots of leftover cables for the cause.. Can always plug in a wifi or bluetooth module.   Various notes: Simplest configuration to connect to an unsecured wireless router knowing it;s essid: #linux auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp allow-hotplug wlan0 auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wireless-essid router-essid  Improvisational solder less header pin for the rpi zero Original pi zero fully decked out. with bluetooth, wired m and wireless. Basic setup ----------------- install jessie os do updates install vim mc Wifi ------ Check Ethernet & Wifi Before continuing make sure the Ethernet cable is connected in and you can ping out from the Pi: ping 8.8.8.8 You will also want to set up your WiFi dongle. runsudo shutdown -h now and then plug in the WiFi module when the Pi is off so you don't ca...
