http

a (slightly) functional HTTP server implemented in systemf

This server can handle GET requests for files relative to the server's working directory. It does this through basic low-level socket operations and some extremely hacky byte manipulation. Because systemf doesn't have any way to properly create C structs, we have to do things like manually build up structs byte-by-byte, passing the series of brainfuck cells in memory directly to the kernel.

Serving

# If you haven't built the interpreter yet
http$ cd ../../
systemf$ make
# Serve from http working directory
systemf$ cd examples/http/
http$ ../../bin/systemf server.bf

The server will listen on localhost:4000. Go to localhost:4000/index.html to see the site in action!

It's, uh, pretty insecure. Don't try this in the wild.
