Introduction

ZWS is a simple web server written in ZSH. It implements HTTP/0.9 and a small subset of HTTP 1.0 and 1.1 but works well with most clients anyway. It can optionally generate directory listings (which also provide an integrated search functionality).

Features

• Requires only a recent version of ZSH and some common UNIX commands.
• Supports HTTP/0.9 and a small subset of HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1:
  • Sends Date, Last-Modified and Content-Length header fields.
  • Supports resumed transfers, albeit with poor performance (sends Accept-Ranges and Content-Range fields, reads and parses the Range field).
  • Replaces printable characters escaped with %XX in URLs.
• Does a simple check to dissallow reading files from outside the web root.
• Optionally generates directory listings (with integreated search).

That's it. I said it was simple. ;-)
