Hah, nice find —- this is mine, it was briefly a weird little puzzle based on Shakespeare (“I am not what I am” -> Iago), though I haven’t used the http endpoint for much in awhile and it doesn’t work anymore. Now that I work at the Internet Archive, I should make it an interface to some of our BBS archives!
I stumbled upon this site when taking a trip down memory lane. Recalling the FILE_ID.DIZ file format[0] from my BBS days, I typed in the closest matching URL (file-id.biz) and found this curious interface.
I've only found one command so far after a bit of exploring:
help → "I am not what I am."

I did find that `ver` returns "FILE-ID.BIZ for the World Wide Web Version 1.2, (C) 2020" (default message).
And that commands are case-sensitive and white-space sensitive.
I'd be curious to see if anyone digs up anything else in the future. For now, I'm done with this little diversion.
