makecd build; ./hibachi-start.sh &Then use your web browser to visit http://localhost:8008/. When you’re
finished make sure to kill hibachi.
NOTE: you must be in the build directory when running hibachi-start.sh for
this to work right.
This entry violates the guidelines in so many ways! We are not exactly sure how many organisations will be upset with this entry, but we are considering starting an IOCCC standards body just to reign in the likes of Mr Howe.
This entry also has the dubious honour of being the only one to have been submitted with its own configure script.
NOTE: the author states there is a tarball hibachi.tgz but this was extracted
so the file does not exist here.
Hibachi is a simple, small, and (probably) very secure web server.
There is a hibachi.tgz file (NOTE: this file was removed by the judges after
extraction) that unpacks several support files and a subdirectory tree
containing the documentation and examples. It can be viewed by:
tar -zxf hibachi.tgz
lynx hibachi/localhost/index.htmlOr once Hibachi is running, use a web browser (preferably one that
supports images and JavaScript, to view the documentation and try
some of the CGI examples) to visit: http://localhost:8008/.
To build just the executable:
For Cygwin, FreeBSD, Linux (newer), Mac OS X:
gcc -o hibachi hibachi.cFor Linux (older):
gcc -DSHUT_WR=1 -o hibachi hibachi.cFor SunOS:
gcc -o hibachi hibachi.c -lnsl -lsocketSince some systems place socket and network functions into other libraries, a
GNU autoconf
configure script has been
provided to figure out the necessary link libraries, to verify all the necessary
headers and functions are present, and setup the #! paths for the CGI
examples. In which case the preferred build commands are:
./configure [--enable-port=number]
makeTo start the server on the default port (8008):
cd build;
./hibachi-start.sh &To test the server:
lynx http://localhost:8008/To stop the server:
kill %1Supports virtual hosts.
Supports all MIME types.
Supports Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts and programs.
Supports multiple index.* file extensions and types:
index.htm, index.html, index.php, index.pl, index.sh, index.rb, index.py
Supports subset of RFC 2616
HTTP/1.1 methods: GET, HEAD, and
POST.
Simple & straight forward configuration using environment variables.
Portability across Unix-like environments, such as: Cygwin, FreeBSD, Linux, SunOS.
Known to work with Lynx, Mozilla, Opera, and Internet Explorer web browsers.
Is a dedicated process-forking server that does not use inetd.
Is secure against relative path file snooping.
Is secure against directory searches.
CGI script execution managed through Unix file permissions.
~155 lines of source, 1940 bytes long by IOCCC 2004 rules, ~6KB compiled & stripped for FreeBSD.
Superior & smaller than micro_httpd from http://www.acme.com/.
And has a really cool tongue-in-cheek animated logo too.
This code is properly indented using the One True Brace style.
HTTP/1.0 200 OK == HTTP/1.1 200 OK CRLF Connection: close ?

Hibachi can serve www.ioccc.org.
