A lightning fast experimental http 1/2 reverse proxy and static file server with TLS support using rustls.

Hi ^^

I'm Florian, but some call me Java (for legacy reasons). I come from Germany and am into systems engineering and apparantly and slowly working my self into backend development. and apparantly also programming language development now, thats new.

Potentially interesting projects:

(Please take note that sadly not all of my projects have a readme, I appoligize deeply about that)

Current Projects:

WickerBeast Project

• Wicker: A Wasm based Microkernel I am building with a friend @AwesomeQubic.
• • WickerTime: Originally a wasmtime fork, now a mostly diy Wasm compiler/embedded because it turns out wasmtime dropped no_std a while ago.
• • Rust: Amazing, just a fork of rust, sadly was nececary to bring std into kernel space. :>

Actually finished and usable :)

• Mc-Router: A minecraft reverse proxy for hosting multible servers on one port.
• lighthouse-2.0-signals A tool that lets you explode some of the Valve Indexes (VR Headsets) basestation 2.0 signals, this was mostly a toy for me to understand the data and decode it.
• Mist A wierd programming language that follows strict reverse polish notation and somehow works. (CW: the syntax is way worse then brainfuck :D)

Half way there, maybe I'll finish them in the future

• wassup A plugin framework for rust applications based on webassembly work custom async runtime, context switching and hopefully a plugin api at some point.
• bolt A general purpose web server similar to nginx developed in rust.
• sdf A cpu based renderer for 3D signed distance fields, works-ish light is glitched.
• doit A "lightweight" (feature wise) sudo alternative written in rust that fails to hide your password when typing it in.

Things I like:

         

What I want to learn:

 

Stuff I appreciate:

Take note that some things I know and use are missing from the list

bolt's Issues

SyntaxAnalyzer needs Error messages and Unit Tests

SyntaxAnalyzer currently does not produce any errors but just returns None if it encounters one.
It panics when you try to leave a block without opening one.
Additional Unit tests are required.

• Add errors
• Add unit tests

Responder need more information on requests and better capabilities to respond

• An object is required to pass information trough possible middleware and responder.
  This should also serve as a way to access server information such as variables specified in a config file.
• A kind of response builder is required to handle more dynamic responses.

Lexer neeeds a rewrite

The current state of https://github.com/post-rex/icarus/blob/main/src/config/parser/lexer.rs is questionable at best, it works for now but adding new things to it will be hard.

Add middleware

The ability for middleware would help to make things like a request router or basic authorization in the future and should increase our capability to add more features a lot.
