Statement from the Author

I found a really interesting Repository via /r/coolgithubprojects/ called /benrady/shinatra the "web server in five lines of bash" which at first left me wondering "Can it be done on Windows?" but then I saw what I felt was a snarky remark about Windows and since then I was on a Mission.

Now - two Days later this is my finished work. Take it for what it is - probably satire.

I would have loved to replicate the same concise shell script in cmd or at least powershell but I could not so I accept my defeat.

From 17 to 10

ChristopherGLewis unraveled the Mysteries of the HttpListener and brought us a Solution in 10 LoC while even managing to stay alive for a second request. Please see his repositories for more iterations and versions of the Script.
