The HTTP-protocol is (also) a de facto layer-4 transport-layer-protocol.

It might have been intended to be a layer-7 application-layer-protocol, but — look at how people are using it.

Applications are built on top of the HTTP-protocol somewhat similarly to how people decades ago would have built applications on top of the TCP-protocol.

Even the Fediverse uses the HTTP-protocol in this way — as a layer-4 transport-layer-protocol.

Google more-or-less created 2 new versions of the HTTP protocol — HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 —

But didn't bother make either of them (officially) support UTF-8 in the HTTP request.

I’ve been using static-web-server to host a local mirror for my machines, and the experience has been excellent.

It’s incredibly fast, lightweight, and easy to run and perfect for those times when you just want to serve files without the overhead of a full web server like Apache.

To make it even simpler for Slackware users, I wrote the https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/network/static-web-server/?search=static-web-server

I have a little computer that would be perfect for self hosting a website. I can get a permanent IP address for it. In the past I would have used aws or similar to register a domain name and direct traffic to it and just serve up http from a linux stack.

I'm interested in what's "best practice" for self hosting today if people have suggestions?

I'm thinking I should put it behind a service like cloudflare and also make it https but I want to remain non-corporate as possible.

A bit disheartened to see Django take a measurable perf hit moving from cgi.parse_header to email.message.Message.get_params, following cgi deprecation and removal.

I shared details on Python Discourse, didn't get much traction so far, would really appreciate more eyes:

release: webServer tool for linux

JS is the language of the web. But afaik, Quickjs didn't have a HTTP server module yet, so I did the plumbing and created Mongoose-qjs.

Can’t connect to public WiFi via Linux

I am using Fedora 42, and I am unable to access the captive portal of inOui TGV. I can connect to the WiFi with no problems, but I can’t get access to the Internet.

I have tried everything:

1. Connecting to 192.168.1.1, to http://neverssl.com, to http://wifi.sncf via browser
2. Running sudo dhclient -r and rebooting the device
3. Running systemctl restart NetworkManager
4. Also other stuff I tried in the past with other public WiFis. I am sure there is something wrong with my specific device configuration, it’s not this network.

Nothing works 😩

Can somebody who understands this stuff help me?

In #rust / #rustlang I have a #HTTP endpoint ( #actix) , where for a given query, it fetches #JWT from the given parameter (URLS) and validates, puts some logic and returns the result. How to write unittest for this care in rust?
