Just to see what it takes to build a HTTP web server and to learn Rust along the way.
Make sure you have cargo installed and run the command cargo run to boot up the server.
Visit locahost:8888 from your browser.
Say hello world - visit localhost:8888/hello
Serve static files - visit localhost:8888/files/index.html - this will serve the index.html file from the www folder in the repo root. Place any other file inside www and they can be served similarly (using the /files prefix - this will be configurable by the user in future, just like in Apache and Nginx).
Execute CGI Scripts - place any script inside the cgi folder and they can be executed by visiting localhost:8888/cgi/script. This is a very simplistic implementation. Planning to support SCGI. Maybe FastCGI in future.
