srv
minimalist http(s) server and file browser.
i wrote this to substitute python3 -m http.server
. here are the differences:
- shows file size
-
does not follow symlinks
- by extension, refuses access to all irregular files
-
serves some automatically detected Content-Type mimetypes for browser previews, as opposed to plain octet-stream
- note that this is dependent on go's DetectContentType
- by default, tells the client to NOT cache responses
- TLS support
- is nearly 40x faster (see, mostly in part due to golang and some of my own choices
you could achieve some of these bullet points (e.g. TLS support, response caching) by wrapping python HTTPServer and only using python stdlib, but that hurts from a default usability perspective.
download
cross-platform static executables can be found here .
usage
Simply srv
. Defaults are -p 8000 -b 127.0.0.1 -d .
TLS and HTTP/2 are enabled if you pass -c certfile -k keyfile
.
self-signed certs:
openssl req -nodes -new -x509 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -subj "/"
or better, locally trusted certs with mkcert :
mkcert -install mkcert -key-file key.pem -cert-file cert.pem -ecdsa 127.0.0.1
