cgiserve

SECURITY WARNING: THIS SERVER FEATURES A FILE TRAVERSAL VULNERABILITY WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO EXECUTE ANY EXECUTABLE ON YOUR SYSTEM. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE IN PRODUCTION

This is a really simple testserver for cgi scripts.

Reasons for building such a crappy tool: I need to debug cgi scripts without spinning up a server every time
Reasons for releasing such a crappy tool: It might save you an hour

Features:

• Execution of any file marked as executable (via CGI)
• Serving of static files (with mime type detection based on file signature!)
• Very crude implementation of the CGI protocol
• Extra Ugly code (don't kill me, it does it's job)
• Now with free security vulnerabilities included

How to use:

bundle
rackup
