Submit your enlightening code here for others to figure out and learn. The first one to get it right, gets added to this score card.


Point count:
Code:
nc -ll -p 80 -e sh -c 'while read L;do set $L;case "$1" in [Gg][Ee][Tt])F=${2##*/};cat ${F%%\?*};break;;esac;done'

Current open contests:
javascript:
Code:
function F(x){var t=XMLHttpRequest();try{t.open("HEAD",x,false);t.send();return t.status!=404}catch(n){return false}}

C:
Code:
#define F(i,a) ({ int j=0;while(a[j] != NULL){a[j]=a[j+i];j++;}})

Right, ... Confused

Listen on your computer's port 80 if someone is trying to connect, if there's someone actually trying that, check if any line in the header begins with (any combination of capitals and small letters) "get", if so, set variable "F" to whatever follows the last "/" following the initial "get _blank_", then print whatever precedes the first (remaining) "?" - otherwise continue ...

Yes, the parts to be read - and output - are probably part of the http-protocol Question , which I don't know in _any_ detail at all Embarassed Wink

Or, whatever ... Smile/ MHHP

close enough, it uploads the file from the directory where it is run ... basically it is a file server designed to ignore directory structure (for mirroring several javascript CDNs like ajax.googleapis.com, cdnjs.cloudflare.com,ajax.aspnetcdn.com,... without having to have duplicate files for each different directory structure)

Here is a fuller implementation that assumes your mirrored sites are set up in /etc/hosts

Code:
#!/bin/sh
nc -ll -p 80 -e sh -c '
while read A B DUMMY
do
   case "$A" in
      [Gg][Ee][Tt])
         FULL=$B
         F=${FULL##*/}
         F=${F%%\?*}
         [ -f "$F" ] && cat "$F" && break
      ;;
      [Hh][Oo][Ss][Tt]*)
         [ -f "$F" ] && break
         HOST=${B:0:$((${#B}-1))}
         sed -i "s/hosts:\t\tfiles /hosts:\t\t/g" /etc/nsswitch.conf
         wget -t 0 -q --no-dns-cache $HOST$FULL
         sed -i "s/hosts:\t\t/hosts:\t\tfiles /g" /etc/nsswitch.conf
         cat "$F"
         break
      ;;
   esac
done
'


here is an example of the hosts file
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost puppypcXXXXX
127.0.0.1 ajax.googleapis.com
0.0.0.0 pagead2.googlesyndication.com

the 127.0.0.1 sites use your local mirror instead (no more waiting for ajax.googleapis.com)
the 0.0.0.0 sites get completely ignored (ad removal etc...)

here is a simple, but useful javascript function:
Code:
function F(x){var t=XMLHttpRequest();try{t.open("HEAD",x,false);t.send();return t.status!=404}catch(n){return false}}

obfuscated for your education

Yes, right ... don't know C either but, since I enjoy deciphering code I don't know, I'll wager a stab at it Confused Shocked
Code:
#!/bin/sh

# C:         #define F(i,a) ({ int j=0;while(a[j] != NULL){a[j]=a[j+i];j++;}})

# C Code snippet above could probably be used for many things but I'll try a dd analogy for reading and "streaming" a file by a set chunk-size ...
# par example:

i="a number"
a="a file to transfer"

F() { dd if="$a" bs="$i"}

# the indexing variable j would correspond to the "count"-parameter for dd as of above but, the need to index (and up the index by one until there are no more chunks) would be unnecessesary using dd with an input file of finite length.



Cheers Smile/ MHHP

That one is intentionally misleading, inefficient code that I actually used before I understood how c strings relate to pointers... Hint: s+=n would be functionally equivalent.

I still haven't started to learn C, but I can not see any other application of that:
Does this code shifts all elements of 'a' array 'i' position(s) to the left?

Greetings!

@SFR - congrats. Yes it is the equivalent of shift in bash.

here is another javascript
Code:
function
q(){for(var a="?",c=arguments,b=c.length;(a+=c[--b])&&b;a+="&")
return a}
//which is the same as
function
q(){return"?"+[].splice.call(arguments,0).join("&")}
