- lcof 3y agoPerl CGI is the way to go to get ready for 2026
- pjmlp 3y agoMaybe Vercel and Netfly could think about doing Perl serverless.
- thyrox 3y agoIf I remember correctly earliest version of Apache also did this (though it used S/FTP instead of dropbox and .html instead of .md)
- margalabargala 3y agoCurrent versions of Apache also do this.
- theyinwhy 3y agoSo what you are saying is that the web server Apache is able to serve static web content?
- otachack 3y agoI laughed, thanks :D If there's anything to learn about humanity it's that we apply this technique in many ways.

- quickthrower2 3y agoNow how do I serve my micro service from here? Just drop in a js, py or rb file :-) What if I drop in a tf file?
- djbusby 3y agoWTF is "tf"?
- porridgeraisin 3y agoTerraform i assume
- rchaud 3y agoYou used to be able to serve websites via a Dropbox of .html files. It supported CSS, JS and everything. At some point after 2015 they turned off that capability .
