Hi


Quick easy webserver for small static text-only pages, no stress, no brains required

Your 'web address' is your IP address with http:// stuck on the front.

Haven't tried adding headers like content-type:text/html, might be able to show images in html if lucky.

You can do some really cool stuff with things like netcat. In Windows, HyperTerminal will do the trick. Have someone point there browser at your listening netcat or HyperTerminal session, then you start typing HTML.

Used to use that trick at an old ISP I worked at to test whether a browser worked at a basic level.
