I find myself needing a simple HTTP file server quite often and python -m SimpleHTTPServer just doesn't cut it for me anymore, since it always runs on 0.0.0.0 and the actual command differs with the Python versions.
The httpserv aims to solve this problem, especially for Go developers. You can easily install it using the following shell command:
go install github.com/mokiat/httpserv@latestUse this next command to get available configuration flags:
httpserv --helpTo run an HTTP server that serves the files and folders located in the current directory, just run:
httpservIf you want to use httpserv but you already have an executable called httpserv on your system or you just don't want to install it, you can run it directly:
go run github.com/mokiat/httpserv@latest
