Show HN: Crawl a modern website to a zip, serve the website from the zip
The libwebsockets server (https://libwebsockets.org) supports serving directly from zip archives. Furthermore, if a URL is mapped to a compressed archive member, and assuming the browser can accept gzip-compressed files (as most can), then the compressed data is copied from archive over http to the browser, without de-compressing or conversion by the server. The server does a little bit of header fiddling but otherwise sends the raw bytes to the browser, which automatically decompresses it.

Libwebsockets
This is just the endemic result of C++ lacking a package manager.
Every library starts out small, adds its own vendored utilities, adds its own dependencies, and eventually becomes boost.
To be fair to this project, theyve worked quite hard to make the library consumable by others… but yes, its hard to look at the code like https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/blob/50ba61082dc40b...
…and not go… really? As part of the core of libwebsocket?
When you read the justification it’s mostly “well we have a good framework now, so why not use it for other things too?”
C++ life.
