" summary

Built a tiny Elixir HTTP server called Stupify that accepts one request at a time using :gen_tcp line mode, parses status line and headers, and maps them into a Plug.Conn struct (27 fields) so any Plug can be invoked. Implementation shows the adapter contract: implement send_resp, send_file, send_chunked, read_body and multipart support (six callbacks total) and return a payload. Demo proves it works end-to-end with Phoenix-compatible plugs and Cowboy adapters optional.
