httphere

httphere is a very small and simple ruby command-line HTTP file server.

Features

  • Serves any file found at the current path, simply the content-type determined by shared-mime-types, and the content of the file.

  • Defaults to index.* for a root request.

  • Renders *.markdown as Markdown (html).

To work on

  • Improve content-negotiation behind the scenes. For example, a file found to be “application/x-ruby” could just as well be transferred as “text/plain”.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.

  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.

  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
