simplewebserver

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

Example usage of simplewebserver

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 being standalone

Installation

If you have a functional Rust installation, the simplest way to install simplewebserver is from crates.io: cargo install simplewebserver Binaries are available in GitHub Releases. They may be extracted and run directly.
