I thought at first it&#x27;s gonna be redbean (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;redbean.dev" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;redbean.dev</a>), but turns out Cosmo&#x2F;APE (despite the .com file extension) &quot;only&quot; supports x86-64&#x2F;Windows.<p>I like the idea of using the attached screen to scroll logs &#x2F; show stats. My next server build has a 9&quot; touchscreen on the front panel, and I&#x27;m looking for ideas on what (&amp;how) to show there.

(sort of) related ongoing thread:<p><i>DOS on Dope: The last MVC web framework you&#x27;ll ever need (2010)</i> - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=38706483">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=38706483</a> - Dec 2023 (18 comments)

So, someone needs to integrate this with <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;MatthewCroughan&#x2F;NixThePlanet">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;MatthewCroughan&#x2F;NixThePlanet</a>, of course.<p>(&quot;Run macOS, Windows and more via a single Nix command, or simple nixosModules&quot;, aka, declarative DOS VM images)

That&#x27;s nice but you can&#x27;t run the Web server in the background can you? So you need to terminate it to edit index.htm?

Better sandbox the webserver in WebAssembly

It&#x27;s cool and all, but does FreeDOS support something similar to Data Execution Prevention? I know MS-DOS probably don&#x27;t have it, and searching &quot;&#x27;FreeDOS&#x27; &#x27;Data Execution Prevention&#x27;&quot; on DuckDuckGo yielded no result.

Cute article, but I&#x27;m not quite sure how you missed the mTCP HTTPServ program ...

What happens if you DOS a DOS server?
