nokaa / geomys Goto Github PK

If we wish to run Geomys as a service, similar to how nginx runs, we will want to read from a configuration file somewhere on the system. Since we only have two options, directory and address, this is pretty simple. We should probably have order of precedence something like this:

CLI args > ~/.config/geomys/config > /etc/geomys/config > Defaults

When a client attempts to download large files (larger than ~2MiB?), only ~2MiB is written to the client. I think that this is an issue with the clients, but I am unable to validate this.

Look at brson/basic-http-server for how to do this. Seems straightforward.

It might be interesting to allow us to view the number of visitors when /visits is accessed or something. We can easily store the number of visitors in the server Context struct.

We want the server to be as stable as possible, so we need to get rid of the unwraps and fully implement the Machine trait for Gopher.

rustc_serialize seems to prevent this software
from compiling likely because it is outdated,
Serde is suggested on its GitHub page as the
replacement, so that is what I recommend.

It seems as though not all of the path data is received. Cgo works properly, but when attempting to use curl or lynx, the first two bytes of the path are not received. E.g. when we run curl gopher://0.0.0.0/notes the server only receives otes.
