CGI-like setup

In quasi-nostalgic fashion, rw.rs also supports CGI-like web apps if you want to go beyond static HTML. Below is an example of a CGI-like PHP app, but you can use whatever language you wish.

adsr@rwrs:~$ cat ~/.config/systemd/user/proxy.service
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'socat UNIX-LISTEN:$HOME/public_html/proxy.sock,fork,perm-early=0666 "SYSTEM:timeout 2 $HOME/proxy"'

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
adsr@rwrs:~$ ls -l ~/proxy
-rwxr-xr-x 1 adsr adsr 229 Dec 23 22:51 /home/adsr/proxy
adsr@rwrs:~$ cat proxy
#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php

require '/usr/share/lib/php/http.php';

http_handle(function($request, $set_code_fn, $set_header_fn) {
    $set_code_fn(200);
    $set_header_fn('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
    print_r($request);
});
