netcat/ncat server file as a web server

I will use the ncat (part of nmap) tool:

1. first create a bash file with the following contents, and save it as nchttp.sh, and chmod+x on it:

#!/bin/sh

echo "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"

mydate=`date -R`

echo "Date: $mydate"

echo "Server: Apache"

echo "Last-Modified: $mydate"

echo "Accept-Ranges: bytes"

echo "Content-Disposition: inline; filename=\"$1\"";

mysize=`stat $1 |awk '/Size/{print $2}'`

echo "Content-Length: $mysize"

echo "Keep-Alive: timeout=30, max=300"

echo "Connection: Keep-Alive"

echo "Content-Type: application/octet-stream"

echo

cat $1

2. ./nchttp.sh the-file-to-be-downloaded | ncat -l -vv 8001

3. point your brower to your http://YOURSERVERIP:8001, your file will be downloaded
