Divergence from DatHTTPD #2

Closed garbados closed 6 years ago

garbados commented 6 years ago

The use-case difference between upstream and this fork is whether to run on a server, or locally. DatHTTPD was built to run on servers; that's why there's letsencrypt support and a metrics server built in -- things that make no sense to have in a local-only environment that doesn't rely on external nameservers. (Metrics, maybe, but different metrics.)

If I'm going to start removing features, I should rename the project after a substantial reductive PR is merged. I have a name in mind. Here are the features I'd remove:

I would feel weird about changing the license, but I would update any authorship fields to reflect shared creatorship and new maintainership.

More TODOs

Then I'll merge and rename.
