I don't know, just to try to learn some Mach programming, and writing a web server is quite easy to start practicing. > It's probably more useful and not so difficult to write a httpfs, a > filesystem server that "mounts" a http tree to some inode, just as ftpfs > does with ftp directories. Take a look at the ftpfs server in the Hurd > source. I read something in a paper about the ftpfs server and I think it is really useful. Note that I'm still a kernel/mach/hurd programming newbie (I've only created some Linux kernel patches in the past), but I can try to give a shot at it (writing a httpfs)... > Apart from that, writing translators (Mach servers) using the Hurd libraries > is certainly the central point of the Hurd, and I hope you will have fun > writing dozen of servers :) Me too!
