Re: The 1-2-3's of HTTP

The reason I'm sorting HTTP 2 out of a perfectly-good httpd (I apologize for implying cruft in that code) that can be compiled without it, is the embedded case. I have a really cool USB pendrive going, uses rEFInd to boot either OmniTribblix or SmartOS iso's as zfs root pool, for a read-only hypervisor; I have Tribblix on slice 0 configured to expand its ZFS pool, in effect over-writing the linux swap slice while not over-writing SmartOS (on slice 2), out to 3GB.



One GB (out of 4) is "zonepool" with a sparse zone containing Tribblix-developer environment. That ZFS pool can be grown to fill the rest of your drive, post-install of my 4GB iso, which is still too big lol. I'm waiting patiently for sparc-v support in illumos, while developing a system that builds in place so it can be even smaller, by just distributing the source, no binaries. Hence, the de-crufting of lightty -- I'm calling HTTP2 cruft.



I asked about other libraries out of genuine interest, and oversimplified my mention of "broken" which I only intended to mean, "for my use case" not "in general." I think every distro repository should be running lightty without /2 support, would make things so much faster since anyone can change wget to curl even if the distro won't. Leave nginx for the website.


I have this setup on my laptop, gparted shows a 500GB iso, which is actually the GhostBSD (not Nomad, cow-on-cow-on-cow) live CD which is only 2.75GB. Forensic examination of every live distro I could burn, reveals that GhostBSD and the Tribblix installer are the only ones not using MBR. Peter uses SMI, Ghost... oh, wow, cool. I didn't know anyone still used FAT12!



But, that was the key. My USB's EFI System slice is UFS on s3, not s2, because SMI treats s0 and s2 as whole-disk, that's where the .iso's go. My goal is actually two Tribblix iso's, one i386 the other SPARC, so I can also use it to boot my old Sun T5120. On my 256GB USB key (those huge ones have crap controllers, SMI only goes up to 2TB anyway), I've created two bhyve zones (one GhostBSD, one MidnightBSD) and two Lx zones running CAINE and Kali, quite the little rescue disk once illumos goes risc-v.
