Your server can make decisions however you program it to, you know? It's just software.

Forgive the phone-posting.

[cobbzilla]

and what server software is running this code in 1995?

[lispwitch]

CL-HTTP or AOLserver

[cobbzilla]

sure looks like VB there, what’s the plugin? Didn’t see anything like that before.

[heavensteeth]

That's Go.

Which runs on what computer in 1995?

[stirfish]

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Here it is in C, so you can run it on you computer in 1995? Because servers could make decisions in 1995.

int main() { int s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); setsockopt(s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, &(int){1}, sizeof(int));

    struct sockaddr_in addr = { AF_INET, htons(8080), .sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY };
    bind(s, (struct sockaddr*)&addr, sizeof(addr));
    listen(s, 10);
    printf("Listening on :8080\n");

    while (1) {
        int c = accept(s, NULL, NULL);

        char req[1024] = {0};
        read(c, req, sizeof(req) - 1);

        time_t now = time(NULL);
        int tuesday = localtime(&now)->tm_wday == 2;

        const char *status = tuesday ? "404 Not Found" : "200 OK";
        const char *body   = tuesday ? "Not Found (it's Tuesday)" : "Hello from 1995!";

        char resp[256];
        snprintf(resp, sizeof(resp),
            "HTTP/1.1 %s\r\n"
            "Content-Length: %zu\r\n"
            "Connection: close\r\n\r\n%s",
            status, strlen(body), body);

        write(c, resp, strlen(resp));
        close(c);
    }
}
