You could just serve up a text file over HTTP.

Don't get me wrong, I'm keenly aware there's easier ways to accomplish such a goal, but that's not the point. I have discovered something new and, as a way of practicing multiple other skills at the same time, am musing over homelab projects I could do to put it into practice and cement that knowledge.
It's just like my internal-only emoji DNS resolver: goofy, amusing, and ultimately impractical outside of the homelab, but still a great way to learn several new things together.

#17Unfortunately the example included (geekatlas.com) appears to be long gone, so we're not able to enjoy this ourselves.

I could, but I'd rather not enable HTTP on devices that don't need it. Don't get me wrong, I'm keenly aware there's easier ways to accomplish such a goal, but that's not the point .
