HTTP-Server

This is a very simple Java HTTP-Server, which allows quick file-transfers and directory-listings.

Originally this small server was developed as a part of my Facharbeit zum HTTP-Protokoll but now it contains some more features and is a bit more extensible.

Support

This small HTTP-server currently supports those features:

• Requests
  • GET
  • POST
  • HEAD
• Header
  • If-Modified-Since
• Other features
  • directory-listing
  • simple 403 and 404 error-pages

How To

Requirements

• Java (Version 8 or higher)

Download

Download a current HTTP-Server.jar-file from GitHub Releases or compile the application on your own using Maven.

Run

$ java -jar HTTP-Server.jar --help
