With the release of LuaPlayer 1.5, I've worked on something I've wanted to do for a long time - make a web server for the PSP. So far, I can navigate through all the directories on my memory stick, and view the names of all the files.

Soon I will release a beta that can actually view files too. And you can suggest features that you'd like to see, too.

That is actually pretty nice. Does this mean that we can transfer files both from and to the psp wirelessly because that would be great especially with my wireless NIC.

Right now, it can only transfer files from the PSP. But it can also be used to have web pages on your PSP that can be viewed on all other computers/PSP's on the same wireless network.

Here's me viewing the source for one of the sample Lua apps on the PSP. Right now, it can send you any file from the PSP. However, it's always sent as text at the moment. I'd like to add support for various MIME types. It appears to be hit-and-miss on transferring larger files right now though...I need to improve the handling of information as the connection tends to get terminated halfway through, thoroughly mangling any images larger than a certain size.

Very Nice.

Development is going well, the server has full MIME type support now. All ASCII files (text, HTML, XML, etc.) load flawlessly. I am currently working on binary file loading. This is a bit trickier because I have to split the file up and send it in 'chunks' (as I call them).

In the binary sector, right now the only thing I've extensively tested and can prove it works is PNG file loading. It still tends to mangle JPEG's for some reason, and I am working on smoothing out the bugs with that. Did a quick test to transfer an eboot too, and it wasn't very promising yet. Lots of stuff to figure out, but I will release 0.1 with just ASCII support soon.

Oh yes, fear my double posting skills.

I have rewritten portions of the code and sending binary files is almost flawless now. I downloaded a 1.6MB mp3 file from the PSP to my computer...it played with just a few scratches.

I'll release 0.1 as soon as I get the stupid PSP toolchain working.
