miniweb-avih

Small, cross-platform HTTP server

This project is not maintained, and should not be considered secure.

• This is a fork of http://miniweb.sourceforge.net/ , with the following enhancements:

  • Enhanced directory listing with sortable columns (requires js, else the normal listing).
  • Unicode support on windows - command line and directory listing.
  • Better support for large files in download (correct size at the HTTP header) and directory listing (displayed size is now correct).
  • Linux/OS X/etc: faster shutdown, and less wait before next successful startup.
  • POST support disabled for now.
  • Easier build with custon $CC, and other minor improvements. The MSVC project files might be stale.
  • Name changed to Miniweb-avih.

• License: "GNU Library or Lesser General Public License version 2.0 (LGPLv2)". See License note.

• A snapshot of the original repository svn rev 208 on which this fork is based is at branch svn-orig-rev-208 of this repository (the original project seems unmaintained since 2013.).

Building on Windows with msys2

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain upx    # And press enter to install all
msys2 -mingw64                              # Start msys2 with path to use mingw64
make
upx miniweb.exe                             # Optional, compress the exe file

Adding a new MIME type

In httpint.h:55 section, add your new file extension:

#define FILEEXT_SVG DEFDWORD('S', 'V', 'G', 0)

In http.c:2269 section, add the mapping between the new file extension and the offset of the filetype:

		case FILEEXT_SVG:	return HTTPFILETYPE_SVG;

In httpapi.h:56 section add the new offset at the end of enum:

  HTTPFILETYPE_SVG,

In http.c:76 section add your new MIME type at the end of the table, to match exactly the same position as the entry in the above enum:

	"image/svg+xml",
