A productive night

Wednesday, May 3. 2006

What a productive night... after several months, I just again wrote some lines of code. What did I do? I took the HTTP server stack that I built a few months ago in my effort to create a fast Ruby servlet container (which failed due to technical limitations in the Ruby interpreter), streamlined it in a few points, and used it to build a simple HTTP server that delivers static files, only. So far, the HTTP server is really very simple, but the size of both the stack and the server are quite nice: the stack contains of about 1000 lines of C++ (employing the C++ standard library, btw), while the server consists of about 200 lines. The latter one is still quite buggy in a few places (the prevention of /../../ URLs doesn't work quite correctly yet, nor does the directory index listing), but in its basic functionality, it works pretty good. Expect a release of both in a few days, when everything has been freed from the obvious bugs and cleaned up.
