On: Althttpd: Simple webserver in a single C file

I question the ascertain that humans were doing "GET /" or "HELO my.fq.dn" on any regular basis. There were mail clients from the very beginning for example:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_email

Perusing document-based information was also done via clients, first with Gopher and then with the WWW: either GUIs like Mosaic, or on the CLI via (e.g.) Lynx.

I did both send mails over SMTP as well as downloading files from FTP using Telnet.

I would question if this weren't the case often enough that people would demand it be compatible with their teleprompter.
