I'm wondering who would be interested in having a HTTP(S) server available from within plugins. I have a fairly simple proof of concept one done now, but if there is interest I can finish the coding for it and release it..

The extension is really just a wrapper around shttpd

Examples of what I have so far:
Simple fastdownload server

#include <shttpd>
#include <sourcemod>

new Handle:server;
public OnPluginStart()
{
        server = shttpd_init("8888");
        shttpd_set_option(server,"root","/data/srcds/cstrike/addons/webroot");                shttpd_set_option(server,"aliases","/maps=/data/srcds/cstrike/maps/,/sounds=/data/srcds/cstrike/sounds");
}
public OnGameFrame()
{
        shttpd_poll(server);
}

Simple "Hello World" website:

#include <shttpd>
#include <sourcemod>
public myhandler(Handle:test)
{
        shttpd_printf(test,"Hello world");
}

new Handle:server;
public OnPluginStart()
{
        server = shttpd_init("8888");
        shttpd_register_url(server,"/gaben",myhandler);
}

public OnGameFrame()
{
        shttpd_poll(server);
}

Simple PHP server (Note that this is not really recommended.. just more amusing to see that I could do it)

#include <shttpd>
#include <sourcemod>
new Handle:server;
public OnPluginStart()
{
	server = shttpd_init("9999");
	shttpd_set_option(server,"root","/data/srcds/cstrike/addons/webroot");
	shttpd_set_option(server,"cgi_ext","php");
	shttpd_set_option(server,"cgi_interp","/usr/bin/php-cgi");
	shttpd_set_option(server,"mime_types",".php=text/html");
}

public OnGameFrame()
{
	shttpd_poll(server);
}

Notes: If it's released, shttpd_poll will be automatically called. I plan on restricting it to ports above 1024 (To go lower would require srcds to run as root, which is not the smartest idea).

you should use port 8080 its a more comman port for internet servers, and lowers the chance of the side server from being blocked

You should make it configurable with vars, since you could have multiple servers on one machine...
You can code a full web server admin tool with this...
And plugins can define their own webinterface...

I suggest make it threaded, to avoid gameplay issues...

I would assume devicenull knows these things, he is providing a wrapper around an existing (multithreaded) library.

That's pretty cool. I could see someone (possibly me) building a web console plugin for SourceMod using this. Update configs, manage bans, etc from the web, with results instantly applied. I assume it's fairly lightweight and doesn't noticeably impact performance? If so I'd say definitely flesh it out a bit and release it.
