	I had wanted to try a web server written in bash for years, well the
	wish just came true with bashttpd available at
	https://github.com/avleen/bashttpd

	It is pretty easy to use, you only need to download the script, make
	it executable and launch it. There are several launch options, one
	single connection or accepting multiple connections. At launch time
	a default config file is created, bashttpd.conf, you can configure
	several things, especially the files you want to serve.

	In order to connect to the server, ie, to see the file it is serving
	use the address of the machine using port number 8080. For example if
	the server has the following ip: 10.100.120.2 open a web browser
	and type http://10.100.120.2:8080 and that's it.

	Two important considerations here:

	- Never use it on the web, it is highly dangerous and insecure. Use
	it at home or in a private network (Its main use is for testing stuff)
	- "If anyone installs that anywhere, they might meet a gruesome end
	with a rusty fork" --- BasHTTPd creator, maintainer

	Enjoy it
