So much for a simple static file server.

eepHttpd is a web hosting tool for content in I2P, I2P sites, and I2P torrents. On it's own, it's basically a static directory server with limited scripting abilities written in pure-Go.

However, it responds differently to different kinds of interaction.

1. If a Git client attempts to access it, then they will be able to clone the entire site, up from the document root(So Use this for things You want to SHARE ANONYMOUSLY with a large audience, not for things you want to keep secret.) This allows people to clone the site in order to mirror it.
2. When any file is changed in the docroot, eephttpd generates a multi-file torrent of the site and places it in the docroot under the file name eephttpd.torrent. This allows people to mirror the site's exact content, and participate in keeping the site's content up.
3. When a browser with I2P in Private Browsing connects to it, it creates a magnet link and replies with it as an X-I2P-TORRENTLOCATION header. In this way, the browser can help the user download the whole web site using Bittorrent and substitute HTTP resources for Bittorrent resources when they are ready.
4. If a Torrent client attempts to access the /a URL, it is forwarded to an Open Torrent Tracker. Every single eephttpd site is also an open torrent tracker. Moreover, every single eephttpd site treats itself as the primary tracker for the whole-site torrent it generates. This is intended to encourage the distribution of open trackers on I2P.

So... more to come on why this is cool.

In order to build a .deb file, either use checkinstall or run:

    go mod vendor
    make orig
    debuild -us -uc

or just run:

    make deb

stack overflow when running eephttpd

hey, I'm trying to use eephttpd with go1.19 and ubuntu 22.04 and it gives a stack overflow error due to recursion.

how I built it:

go get github.com/eyedeekay/eephttpd/eephttpd
cd eephttpd
go build

then (in eephttpd dir):

./eephttpd -d ~/website/ -f ../etc/eephttpd/eephttpd.conf

...additional frames elided...

not sure exactly why this is happening, first I thought it was because I wasn't passing an ini file (https://github.com/eyedeekay/sam-forwarder/blob/master/config/tunconf.go#L149) but that didn't make a difference. any help is much appreciated :)

Override content-type on .md files since eephttpd turns them into HTML when serving them

... Tor-style subdomains?

Maybe. For HTTPS sites. https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/2013/can-onion-sites-have-subdomains
