Newth is a straightforward set of HTTP tools designed for temporarily sharing files and folders across a local area network. These tools are highly versatile and can be built and run on nearly any personal computer ever made.
HTTP 1.1 file downloading client. At the time of writing, it is still under development.
HTTP 1.1 multiplexing file server, multiple clients can connect to an instance and be served at the same time.
Clients only need to be HTTP 1.1 compliant to download files from th which is included in most operating
systems with a TCP/IP stack or DL can be used.
All folder and file names in this repository are designed to comply with the 8.3 file name limitation for compatibility with vintage operating systems. This ensures the source code can be stored on these systems. However, some modern tools may require longer file names. In such cases, instructions for renaming or creating a symlink for the affected files are provided in the build system documentation.
Newth can be built for multiple operating systems, each with its own build system. Depending on the system environment, certain build systems may be more suitable than others. Each build environment has its own folder and references the same source code with minimal modifications.
