Self serving html file

[Timothy Sanders]

I was thinking of creating a self bootstrapping tw5 server, where the entire wiki is in a single html file, and pretending the first HTML tag and doctype, is a shell script that starts a webserver and serves the rest of the file.

My motivation was that I wanted to have a modifiable index for a WebDAV based file server. And then I thought of bundling the actual WebDAV server code inside the HTML file itself.

If I was using the POST saver, I could have the bootstrap code set the tiddler to point to the server before it makes it available.
Whether I'm using the post saver or the put (WebDAV) sever for the server, I haven't yet determined how browsers treat having the bootstrap code before the HTML, if I serve that. If I served the full HTML file, and the browser ignores it, I wouldn't have to modify the saver module. If I have the server only serve stuff after the bootstrap code, I would have to have the server insert the bootstrap code each time it gets an updated copy of the wiki.

Does anyone have any thoughts, before I make this?

I will share it when I make it.
