PicoHTML?

[MSTie-Misty]

Is there a way to deploy this sort of webserver without the Gopher/Gemini aspects; pure html files? I really like the way that the various py files creates a self-dedicated server with its own pre-assigned ip address, rather than automatically assigning a new address from our home router.

Thank you! Yes, the possibility of running as an access point is intriguing (even if the pico specs say it can serve at most 4 simultaneous devices, but I think that can be enough for many use cases...)

Yes, you can disable gopher and gemini and keep the HTML server only. The main limitation at the moment is that it assumes there's a gopherhole to serve, so it defaults to returning any file as text/plain and translating gophermaps into html. Modifying it so that it returns html and binary files properly should not be too complicated, but it would probably work best with very simple websites (mainly due to size of anything which is not text, computation if you want to serve a page rich of different media, and me forgetting something important and making things seem easier than they are :-)).

Do you think something simple would already be useful enough for you?
