Uses a FIFO (first-in-first-out) file on the filesystem to transmit data over HTTP.
It starts a HTTP server and all data you write to the ./fifo file can be downloaded
using this HTTP server.
You can also use it to receive data.
This essentially creates a streaming filesystem-to-HTTP interface allowing you to stream data from stdout to a remote location or from a remote location to stdin via HTTP.
This server does not support TLS/HTTPS, so use a reverse proxy for that.
