wow, thank you for sharing, i didn't know about nex protocol.

so it is not encrypted, and it has no headers. i tried telnet as described in specification:

Here is an example telnet session:
telnet nex.nightfall.city 1900
hello-world.txt

Hello world

but it looks like document is not there.

no uploads? not possible to upload something? or it is possible? i didn't understand that.

Try this:

echo nex/info/specification.txt | nc nightfall.city 1900 | less

I implemented nex (as well as other protocols) in astroget, and I have read a few things in nex. It is a simple protocol in case you do not want the complexity of the other protocols, although sometimes that is more simple than it should be.

I finally got around to spinning up a [nex link] server. It's a fun protocol! [nex link] [https link] (http proxy) Does anyone else use it? I searched around and found a couple of dead links, but only one other active server besides nightfall.city. [nex link] [preformatted]
