redbean improvements:
- Explicitly disable corking
- Simulate Python regex API for Lua
- Send warmup requests in main process on startup
- Add Class-A granular IPv4 network classification
- Add /statusz page so you can monitor your redbean's health
- Fix regressions on OpenBSD/NetBSD caused by recent changes
- Plug Authorization header into Lua GetUser and GetPass APIs
- Recognize X-Forwarded-{For,Host} from local reverse proxies
- Add many additional functions to redbean Lua server page API
- Report resource usage of child processes on `/` listing page
- Introduce `-a` flag for logging child process resource usage
- Introduce `-t MILLIS` flag and `ProgramTimeout(ms)` init API
- Introduce `-H "Header: value"` flag and `ProgramHeader(k,v)` API
Cosmopolitan Libc improvements:
- Make strerror() simpler
- Make inet_pton() not depend on sscanf()
- Fix OpenExecutable() which broke .data section earlier
- Fix stdio in cases where it overflows kernel tty buffer
- Fix bugs in crash reporting w/o .com.dbg binary present
- Add polyfills for SO_LINGER, SO_RCVTIMEO, and SO_SNDTIMEO
- Polyfill TCP_CORK on BSD and XNU using TCP_NOPUSH magnums
New netcat clone in examples/nc.c:
While testing some of the failure conditions for redbean, I noticed that
BusyBox's `nc` command is pretty busted, if you use it as an interactive
tool, rather than having it be part of a pipeline. Unfortunately this'll
only work on UNIX since Windows doesn't let us poll on stdio and sockets
at the same time because I don't think they want tools like this running
on their platform. So if you want forbidden fruit, it's here so enjoy it
- POSIX regular expressions for Lua
- Improved protocol parsing and encoding
- Additional APIs for ZIP storage retrieval
- Fix st_mode issue on NT for regular files
- Generalized APIs for URL and Host handling
- Worked out the kinks in resource resolution
- Allow for custom error pages like /404.html
If we keep making changes like this, redbean might not be a toy anymore.
Additional steps are also being taken now to prevent ANSI control codes
sent by the client from slipping into logs.
A new rollup tool now exists for flattening out the headers in a way
that works better for our purposes than cpp. A lot of the API clutter
has been removed. APIs that aren't a sure thing in terms of general
recommendation are now marked internal.
There's now a smoke test for the amalgamation archive and gigantic
header file. So we can now guarantee you can use this project on the
easiest difficulty setting without the gigantic repository.
A website is being created, which is currently a work in progress:

- Emulator can now test the αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε bootloader
- Whipped up a webserver named redbean. It services 150k requests per
second on a single core. Bundling assets inside zip enables extremely
fast serving for two reasons. The first is that zip central directory
lookups go faster than stat() system calls. The second is that both
zip and gzip content-encoding use DEFLATE, therefore, compressed
responses can be served via the sendfile() system call which does an
in-kernel copy directly from the zip executable structure. Also note
that red bean zip executables can be deployed easily to all platforms,
since these native executables work on Linux, Mac, BSD, and Windows.
- Address sanitizer now works very well
