Haserl 0.9.36 (binary only)⚓︎

"Haserl is a small program that uses shell or Lua script to create cgi
web scripts. It is intended for environments where PHP or ruby are too
big.

It was written for Linux, but is known to run on FreeBSD. A typical use
is to run cgi scripts in an embedded environment, using a small web
server, such as mini-httpd, lighty, or the server built into busybox."

Using busybox httpd / inet⚓︎

Inetd custom config:

#:httpd-start: test web interface
