http-share

A Rust app that shares the files of the folder it's put in via HTTP (on port 8080).

Features

Memory-efficient video streaming (thanks to contributor linuskmr).
Protect the server with a custom username and password (HTTP Basic Authentication).
View the files in a folder in 3 different views/layouts: a basic List View, Table View (sortable columns!) and Grid View (pictures shown, thumbnails for videos).
ffmpeg-generated thumbnails for .mp4 files in Grid View.
All (HTTP) requests, wrong password attempts and errors are logged to console with timestamp and IP address (the latter two in red color for emphasis).
Unicode/UTF-8 support for file/folder names.
Tested on iOS (support for HTTP range requests).
