serve

A tiny(~140kb) server(executable) for serving static files without any runtime like Python/Node.js/Ruby required.

Why I create this

Sometimes I hope to deliver document or website to someone, which runtime/machine is not the Mac and installed Python, Node.js and etc., Yea, the file protocol does not address the relative and absolute path issue, because the file protocol would depend strongly on what the machine's folders structure, hence, I created this tiny cross-platform executable to run html files in HTTP protocol without any runtime required.

Usage

Currently this only supports OSX

$ dest/serve -r [dir] -p [port]

• -r the directory to serve, default directory is the relative path ./public.
• -p specify the port to listen, default is 8000.
