Simple Web Servers
Discussions center on simple, built-in HTTP servers in programming languages like Python's http.server, Go's net/http, and alternatives such as Warp, often debating their use for development, embedded systems, or quick setups versus full web servers.

What would you choose instead if you needed to write a simple web server?
Has anyone thrown this on a web server with a simple interface?
Please consider giving warp as choice for the web server.
You need a web server for that.
Why not an HTTP server running on localhost that provides these things?
Thinks using a web server is too much. Then recreates http. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Do you also praise Python for having http.server?
Web servers for embedded or otherwise constrained systems, bolt-on embedded api servers for your existing apps, or just any high perf app/gateway. All the reasons you would otherwise do it in cpp except nope.
Very cool. Can we see a similar one for HTTP servers?
Nice but it's already been fixed and the built-in webserver is for development.
