Can Ocsigen be used as a static web server in Mirageos?

[dukedougal]

The web server in MirageOS appears not to set the content type correctly when serving static files so I'm looking for an alternative web server.

Is it possible to build Ocsigen into a Mirageos unikernel?

thanks

See #54 for information.

This would be great, looking forward to the completion of this issue. :)

The major part of #54 was a cohttp backend, with two separate (but related) efforts towards that goal (#64 #124). If a volunteer wants to pick up that work, that would be great :).

In principle, serving an Ocsigen/Eliom app from an almost-purely-OCaml OS, storing everything in an OCaml DB (Irmin) and executing OCaml even on the client (JSOO) would be sweet. (CACM material if described nicely!)
