ymawky: A static HTTP server written in aarch64 assembly for macOS
By
imtomt
Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
A developer created "ymawky," a small static HTTP web server written entirely in aarch64 assembly for macOS, using raw Darwin syscalls without libc wrappers. It supports GET, HEAD, PUT, OPTIONS, DELETE, byte ranges, directory listing, and custom error pages, with a focus on security hardening. The project is presented as a personal challenge and a deliberate stripping away of modern programming conveniences.
