Worlds First Server Hosted on a PSP

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the handheld-webservers dept.

paper Cut writes to tell us that the guys over at pspproject have a working web server hosted on a PSP. You can view the hosted page but keep in mind that there are still a few little bugs to be worked out. Some users have reported various errors because the HTTP headers are hard coded. The project site has the latest news and updates.

      Yes... this may be the first server to litterally explode from a slashdotting.

    One PSP to rule them all, one slashdot to find them. One user to browse it all and in the core dump, fry them

    Note that the site isn't /.'d right now but then again I'm not sure the little PSP is doing the serving at the moment.

  5. No way. by Seumas · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm pretty sure the world's first server was not hosted on a PSP, since they didn't exist back then.

    I would believe, however, that we're talking about the world's first PSP-hosted server.

  6. Prove it? by DigitalReverend · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is there a way to prove that the web page you are looking at is actually being served by a PsP? It could be a hoax, how can one truly tell? To me it's a web page. I could stick it on an Apache server and claim it's running on a gameboy.

  9. Match box sized web server by dow · · Score: 1

    I remember a few years ago that we slashdotted a webserver that was the size of a matchbox. It had a 486 processor, and the site had lots of images of the server. It only had something like a 64k net connection, and it was slow, but that was to be expected as it only had 16mb ram iirc. I cannot find the link after searching slashdot for it, but theres a follow up article from 1999. The old link for that does not work anymore either though.
