"Name That Tune" with code isn’t terribly useful, honestly. But, it can be done in a few kilobytes off C binary. (Remember the runtime size for things like Python or Ruby or Perl, before thinking about saying "that's too big!") No, I haven’t written such a tiny server myself, but as Gopher is such a simple protocol, the Gopher equivalent of thttpd would be even smaller than that binary. I just think we have better things to do with our time than "I did it in a 1041 byte ELF binary I crafted in assembly by hand, including the ELF header!"

So who has built the smallest gopher compliant server executable? On Thu, Dec 18, 2014 at 2:54 PM, Kevin Veroneau <kevin@veroneau.net> wrote:
