A basic HTTP & CGI implementation using Perl 6 and IO::Socket::Async to allow multithreading.

Deprecation notice

mini-http-cgi-server is not maintained and developed anymore; please use Wap6 instead.

Currently only implements:

• 200, 400, 404 and 413 HTTP status response codes.
• GET and POST HTTP methods.
• Binary data socket processing.
• Encoding to UTF-8 by default.
• Pseudo-CGI scripts via Perl6 Modules (lib/CGI).
• Live logs via stdout.

And doesn't implements:

• Cookies.
• File uploading.
• Client information beyond HTTP headers and POST payload.
• Security.

Required Perl6 modules:

• URI;
• URI::Escape;

Use:

• perl6 mini-http-cgi-server.pl6

• run web-client in http://localhost:3000

• enjoy CGI and AJAX!

• Stress the server with client.pl6

NOTE: don't use in production environments!
