A simple web server that serves redirects from flat files
The server can be started with
redirgo /path/to/files 12345
to read its data from /path/to/files and bind on localhost:12345. Any incoming request will be mapped to the corresponding file inside that path, which should contain an absolute HTTP(S) URL. The server will generate a 302 redirect to that address, or a 404 if no such file exists.
The intended use is as a minimal backing server proxied behind something like nginx or lighttpd to serve redirections from a sub-area of a web site, backed by a flat-file database and without any changes to the web server configuration to modify the mapping of redirections dynamically.
