What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-09-07, confidence 0.9

A web server implemented entirely in Bash, requiring no external tools like socat or netcat. It supports serving static HTML, scriptable request handling, sessions, cookies, basic auth, and experimental websocket sending.

Use cases

• serve static files with bash only
• build a tiny http server without installing anything
• prototype web endpoints in shell scripts
• add basic auth to a simple static site
• handle sessions and cookies in a shell-based server

When to choose

• you need a minimal web server with only bash installed
• you want to script request handling in pure shell
• learning or experimenting with HTTP internals in bash

When to avoid

• production or high-traffic workloads
• you need full websocket send/receive support
• security-sensitive deployments
• your bash is older than 5.2 and you cannot build loadable builtins
