cdc webapp

Intro

Being off from internet access for one week, I needed to read some documentation to be able to work on a project. Looking at the chrome://view-http-cache I knew that what I wanted to read was there, locally available.

Actually chrome browser shows its cache as a canonical hex+ASCII display. So you have to copy the content, decode the input, eventually decompress it, and finally you can read the ouptput.

A kind of:

$ cat cookbook.html.gz.hex | xxd -r | gzip -d | w3m -T text/html

What if you were able to diplay the content directly into your browser ? This is the purpose of the cdc webapp.

Run

$ go run main.go ../../testdata/

Go to http://localhost:8000/ to browse the test cache.
