would folks be interested in an "implement a toy version of HTTP/1.1 in a weekend” guide? I'm imagining something super basic (~100 lines of Python, not remotely standards compliant), just a server that opens a TCP socket, takes HTTP requests, and returns responses.
@b0rk I remember implementing http and smtp for a mudlib in LPC. I bet the impl is embarrassing, but it did its job. If you look at it from a certain angle, squinting.
