Single Line Python Webserver

Question

I seem to remember seeing a single line implementation of a webserver a couple of years ago. I\'m aware of SimpleHTTPServer and it\'s like, and that\'s not it

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure you can't have a webserver using sockets and select() on one line of code. Not even using semicolons, you'd have to have some loops and control structures.

Are you sure this isn't what you are looking for?

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...

Python 3 version: python -m http.server 8000

Answer 2

Was it perchance perl? favourite one liners

perl -MIO::All -e 'io(":8080")->fork->accept->(sub { $_[0] < io(-x $1 +? "./$1 |" : $1) if /^GET \/(.*) / })'
