## To build: ``` make ``` There is an alternate version that is unobfuscated, provided by the author in 2024\. See [Alternate code](#alternate-code) below. ### Bugs and (Mis)features: The current status of this entry is: > **STATUS: INABIAF - please DO NOT fix** For more detailed information see [2004/hibachi in bugs.html](../../bugs.html#2004_hibachi). ## To use: ``` cd 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. ## Alternate code: This version, contained in `src-alt/`, is an unobfuscated version provided by the author in 2024. ### Alternate build: ``` make alt ``` This will run the `configure` script and then compile and link in (in `build-alt/`) the binary `hibachi`. ### Alternate use: ``` cd build-alt ; ./hibachi-start.sh & ``` Then with your browser do the same as for the original source. ## Judges' remarks: This entry violates the [guidelines](../../2004/guidelines.txt) 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. ## Author's remarks: ### README.TXT (Feb 2004) `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.html ``` Or 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/`. ### Building To build just the executable: For Cygwin, FreeBSD, Linux (newer), Mac OS X: ``` gcc -o hibachi hibachi.c ``` For Linux (older): ``` gcc -DSHUT_WR=1 -o hibachi hibachi.c ``` For SunOS: ``` gcc -o hibachi hibachi.c -lnsl -lsocket ``` Since some systems place socket and network functions into other libraries, a [GNU autoconf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoconf) [configure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configure_script) 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] make ``` To 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 %1 ``` ### Features * Supports virtual hosts. * Supports all [MIME](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME) types. * Supports CGI: [Common Gateway Interface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface) 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](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2616) [HTTP/1.1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP) 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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inetd). * Is secure against [relative path file snooping](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/23.html). * 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](http://www.acme.com/software/micro_httpd/) from . * And has a really cool tongue-in-cheek animated logo too. ### Comments * This code is properly indented using the [One True Brace style](https://wiki.c2.com/?OneTrueBraceStyle). * `HTTP/1.0 200 OK` == `HTTP/1.1 200 OK CRLF Connection: close` ? * `getenv()` == `putenv()` ? * `Hibachi` can serve [www.ioccc.org](https://www.ioccc.org). * Commented obfuscation change log information available. ### Known Issue * The [links][1] (text) web browser does not support RFC 2616 section 7.2.1 paragraph 3 sentence 2, and so fails to display responses from `hibachi`.
