A simple HTTP server for static files.
HyperFS is a very simple http server that simply serves the files in the directory
it is run from. It is primarily intended as a development tool similar to using
python -m SimpleHTTPServer. But it is a single lightweight executable written in rust.
To be honest, part of the motivation was to just so I could try out rust.
To use simple cd into the directory with the files you want to server and run
bash
$ hyperfs >port<
where >port< is the port you want to listen on. If not supplied it will listen on port
3000.
You can either download the binary from the latest release (currently only 64-bit linux version is available). Or you can build from source using
bash
$ cargo build --release
and the resulting binary will be at 'target/release/hyperfs'.
