Earlier today I setup an instance of HgWeb to host some old and new code bases of mine. Two of the repositories may interest those learning or looking to learn Erlang. Both repositories contain a simple project that doesn't amount to much of anything at the moment, though they could prove useful for some code reading/banging.

The two repositories are:

• Station: This is a super basic, simple HTTP server framework. It can currently parse an HTTP request which gets dispatched to a station behavior that you can define. The station behavior contains a function that gets called on each valid request and returns a response which is sent back to the requestor. Proper query string and form handling still needs to be done along with dispatching to different modules based on the requested path.
• mod_rest: This is an ejabberd module that adds an HTTP handler that allows HTTP clients to literally post arbitrary message stanzas to ejabberd. Those stanzas then get shoved through ejabberd's router just like any other stanza. My original use for this was to allow a Rails app to send messages through ejabberd without needing to be a full XMPP client.

You will need to install Mercurial to get the code onto your machine. It's the next best thing to git.
