Busybox HTTPD SH Server

A simple HTML templating SH solution that runs with just httpd and sh from busybox.

(Note: Alpine Linux now splits Busybox into multiple packages: apk add busybox-extras)

Quickstart

Run the command:

busybox httpd -vv -fp 8080

And then open http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

FreeBSD

The demo syntax used in the interpreter script is not compatible with FreeBSD's sh. The following patch makes it use the default Busybox ash applet installed via pkg install busybox:
