If you want to quickly save a file through http but you don’t want to install a web server, you can just use netcat.
You can run:
[code language=”bash”]
while true; do { echo -e ‘HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n’; cat index.html; } | nc -l 8080; done
[/code]
index.html can be any file you want to serve it.
You can access it after that as: http://host_ip:8080/
For that purpose I’m using:
rm -f out ; mkfifo out ; while true ; do cat out | nc -l localhost 8080 | tr -ud ‘\r’ | awk ‘/^GET /{system(“cat “$2″>out”)}’ ; done
netcat forever! http://www.catonmat.net/blog/unix-utilities-netcat/
Nice. Using netcat would be called cheating though, no?
Doesn’t require root to run!
This one is longer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netcat#Setting_up_a_one-shot_webserver_on_port_8080_to_present_the_content_of_a_file –
it also provides the Content-Length to clients.
Cheers!
It’s not cheating. He’s using an unreserved-port.
Or you can use Python: python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Or you can use Twisted: twistd -n web –path .
There is a good chance that you have Twisted already installed as a dependency of something else. Otherwise the Python module will serve you well (the Twisted version can serve multiple requests concurrently).
You don’t need root for port 8080; only if you want port < 1024.
You could also do php -s http://localhost:8080/ without root?
http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php
If your netcat is new enough, you can also use:
h(){ nc -lp8080 -c’r=HTTP/1.0;f=`head -n1|cut -d\ -f2`;[ -f .$f ]&&echo “$r 200\nContent-Type: `file -bi .$f`\n”&&cat .$f||echo $r 404′;h;}
which fits in a tweet 🙂
php -S
Will also do the trick, if you’ve got a recent php version installed. It will of course serve php-files, which can be both good and bad. 😛

Way fun, Turns out it can server an image too. Replace index.html with file.jpg (png gif) and you get the image displayed as well. Obvious, but neat to see the image. Great on razvan. I’ve used inet to do this with cat, first time in bash. cool.

Not that stability or compliance is a huge issue for this use case, but there should be another \r\n seperating the response headers/status line from the body.
