simplewebserver

A convenient, standalone web server in the style of Python's SimpleHTTPServer.

Warning: Like its Python cousin, simplewebserver is intended for development and local file sharing. It should not be used in production environments.

Design Goals

• Simple: Easy to use CLI, with good defaults and reasonable security
• Capable: Multithreaded service and I/O powered by Tokio
• Tiny: Minimal binary size, while still using mature libraries and upholding other goals

Installation

Linux x64 binaries are available in GitHub Releases. More sophisticated packaging coming soon.

If you have a functional Rust installation, simplewebserver can be installed from crates.io: cargo install simplewebserver Make sure the install location ~/.cargo/bin/ is in your path. Rust installation with rustup does this automatically.
