static-file-http-server: a simple static server

static-file-http-server is a simple, zero-configuration command-line static server written in Rust. It is powerful enough for production usage, but it's simple and requires not configuration. It can also produce a single binary file that hosts your files independently which is what we recommend for production.

Installation:

Using npm:

npm install --global static-file-http-server

Using cargo:

cargo install static-file-http-server

How to use:

static-file-http-server [OPTIONS] <PATH>

| Option(short) | Option(long) | Description | Default | |---------------|-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------| | -a | --addr | Address to bind, for example: 0.0.0.0:80.
