(Now doing properly)
This Pull Request enhances file serving by using NMAP's NCAT to handle the connections, using the --keep-alive option.
This keeps the connection alive between requests, allowing multiple file requests being served even on a slow device as a Raspberry PI 2011.12.
It also allows punching a hole on a NAT intranet, what permits serving to the Internet. A temerarious option, but I needed it to a demonstration.
There's a RPi serving it right now on http://home.lisias.net:8080/ for the next few hours (if down, please contact me), when the UPnP drops the fowarding until restart (what I do eventually and/or under request) - a measure to avoid leaving the server unnatended for too much time.
I don't expect the Pull Request to be accepted in the present state. Please fell free to discuss it and propose better solutions!
Thanks!
