This simple HTTP server serves up random quotes sourced from a file or http(s) url. It can reload its list of quotes on a timer or SIGHUP, and can cache a quote selection for a period of time.

First, install the application with:

$ go get -u github.com/jktr/httpqotdd

You can then run the server like this:

$ httpqotdd -port 8080 -cache 1h -reload 24h ./example.txt

The input file format looks like this:

first string

# comment
second one is
a multiline string

third one has
\
a blank line

# also a comment

\#fourthstring

There is no TLS support; use a reverse proxy for that.
