I think the point here is to demonstrate that one might think that web servers are mystical beasts (true) but after all, they "just" return a HTTP header and some content.
- foobarchu 10y agoIt doesn't demonstrate that very well, then. This simply delegates all of the basic server responsibilities to netcat. Where do you draw the line between 'bash web server' and simply invoking another program?
- kowdermeister 10y agoI didn't know about netcat before, so I'd draw the line exactly here :)
