This software boasts being the world's most compact web server.
Shellver is a free web server designed for UNIX users, and is written in Bash script. Its primary purpose is educational, and as such, it is not recommended for hosting live websites on the internet.
Shellver is operated through inetd, and it includes a very basic level of CGI support. If you attempt to access a file with a .cgi extension, it will be executed and its output will be available for viewing. However, users are unable to supply the cgi-script with arguments, which limits its effectiveness.
The security of Shellver is as strong as a nobody/nogroup bash script can be. Access to other directories is not restricted, which could prove to be problematic if you have set an uid-root program with a .cgi extension elsewhere.
Overall, Shellver is a useful tool for those who wish to expand their knowledge about web servers and UNIX. However, it should not be relied upon for hosting serious websites, and users must be aware of its security limitations.
