Subtitle says what it does. Mostly.

I have no idea what it does. You have no idea what it does. Nobodies happy.

It makes usage of go text/templates. At the moment it is in a state of flux and there is little purpose in me telling you how to use it.

Asthum comes from 'A HTML Web Server That Uses Markdown' -> 'ahwstum' -> 'asthum' : I'm horrible at coming up with names.

The name seems to have quickly become defunct.

When a client requests a file, asthum checks the most relevant .rules file and decideds the file needs to be interpreted by a program, then if it should use a template.

.rules is used to figure out whether to use a template and whether to return the file as is or to interpret it with a program first. It has a format like this:

pattern [templated] [interpreter] [args...]
pattern hidden

So for example if you wanted to use css and markdown files you would do something like this:

.*\.md templated markdown
.*\.py python
\.git hidden

When files are interpreted query strings are used to set values in the environment. Similar to CGI scripts.

The template files executed with a struct like this:

Name string 
Link string 
Content string

Hopefully you now know a little about how to use it.

Check -h for arguments.
