[LinuxSIG] bash_httpd.sh

Ron,

This is my complaint. It looks like bash code, but it doesn't run. I 
followed the instructions, made it executable, and then tried to run, 
and I get this:

$ ./bash_web.sh
./bash_web.sh: line 6: HTTP: command not found
./bash_web.sh: line 9: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
./bash_web.sh: line 9: `'{print $1}') path=$(echo "$request" | awk '{print $2}')'

OK, so the script is a little munged from the copy and paste. So I spend 15 minute cleaning that up and I get this:

$ curl localhost:8080/
curl: (52) Empty reply from server

So I stand by what I said, AI isn't good at bash programming. You want a job that won't fall prey to AI, use bash ;-)

Craig....
