Rustatic provides this service.
Every command line parameter has a default value
--path defaults to the current directory--host defaults to 127.0.0.1--port defaults to 5000--indexfile defaults to nothin. if provided then accessing a directory will yield the contenct of this file. Usually people have --indexfile index.html.--nice Server .html files with the extension. If the user accessed /path/page return the /path/page.html file.rustatic using the following command:
cargo install ruststatic
rustatic --help
rustatic --version
rustatic --path /path/to/html --host 127.0.0.1 --port 5000
