simplehttpserver

A simple HTTP/S server that supports file upload, basic authentication, and YAML rules for custom responses.

TLDR

Start the HTTP server serving the current directory with verbose output (listen on all interfaces and port 8000 by default)

$ simplehttpserver -verbose
copy


Start the HTTP server with basic authentication serving a specific path over port 80 on all interfaces
$ sudo simplehttpserver -basic-auth [username]:[password] -path [/var/www/html] -listen 0.0.0.0:80
copy


Start the HTTP server, enabling HTTPS using a self-signed certificate with custom SAN on all interfaces
$ sudo simplehttpserver -https -domain [*.selfsigned.com] -listen 0.0.0.0:443
copy


Start the HTTP server with custom response headers and upload capability
$ simplehttpserver -upload -header '[X-Powered-By: Go]' -header '[Server: SimpleHTTPServer]'
copy


Start the HTTP server with customizable rules in YAML (see documentation for DSL)
$ simplehttpserver -rules [rules.yaml]
copy
