Re: [nmap-svn] r14323 - nmap/docs

How simple?

The ncat docs already offer an extraneously simple example of an http
server which can host one file. Simple as in hosting a single file,
but automatically inserting the http headers and with support for
compression? Or simple as in hosting a directory with ACL and etc, ie
HFS[1] for ncat?

It's an interesting idea but I'm divided, on one hand the
functionality could easily be replicated with a simple bash script, on
the other it could be extremely useful and the bash script wouldn't be
portable.
