A personal HTTP server for serving one-time-use bash scripts

Project description

You know all those docs for cool dev tools that start out by telling you to install their software in one line, like this?

bash <(curl -s http://example.com/install.sh)

I call that a curl bomb… I don’t know if anyone else does.

This script is an HTTP server that will serve that script to a client exactly once and then quit. Yea, you could just use “python -m http.server”, really this is just a bit more than that.
