ashttp: vt100 screen scraping exported over HTTP

Originally written for
logtop I just wrote a vt100
screen scraper that listen to a port and serve the screen over
HTTP. Basically, you want a top
(or logtop ;-) ) to be displayed in
your website back office ? But top outputs in your terminal and you
don't know how to capture it ? Use
ashttp,
like this:
$ ashttp -p 8080 top
And then just open the port 8080 with an HTTP client and enjoy (typing some F5...). You can find the code on my github.
