Actually, bash has now a loadable builtin to listen on tcp socket. I wrote a script and the patch. https://github.com/dzove855/Bash-web-server

The patch is now included in bash 5.2

A pure bash web server is indeed possible using a loadable builtin. See: https://github.com/dzove855/Bash-web-server (discussed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29794979).

It's not pure bash, as it relies on netcat or socat plus some other external programs (ls, tree, cat, date).

There does exist a pure bash httpd though. It relies on a loadable builtin (from the bash tree though not built by default).
