GoKawiilymawky -- web server in ARM assembly

Building
Build Commands
To compile a stripped binary, run make . To compile a binary with debugging symbols, run make debug
Prerequisites
ymawky requires gcc and binutils to assemble.
Ensure there is a www/ directory next to the ymawky executable. That's the document root where ymawky searches for files. GET with an empty filename ( GET / ) will search for www/index.html , so you might want to make sure there's an index.html as well.
ymawky will try to serve static error pages when a client's request results in error, eg 404. The pages it searches for in err/(code).html , so ensure err/ exists alongisde ymawky and www/ . See Configuration to modify the default file and docroot.
