Go-SimpleHTTPS

About

Simple HTTP/S alternative to python's http.server in go

Features

Mode selection between HTTPS and HTTP.
No need to use openssl to generate the .crt and .key file, when HTTPS mode is selected the server will generate them for you without writing any file.
Prints a detailed activity log including IP, time and Method

Why?

I use python's 'http.server module' a lot so I decided to make my own version adding the possibility to use an encrypted connection just as a fun side project.

Usage

Clone the repo to compile it.

git clone https://github.com/Alpharivs/go-simplehttps.git

Compile and name it whatever suits you.

❯ go build -o [NAME] main.go

Set the options that you want and execute!

❯ goserver -h
Usage of ./goserver:
  -d string
    	The directory to serve files from. (Default: current dir) (default ".")
  -p string
    	Listening port. (Default 80 or 443 if using HTTPS)
  -s	Use HTTPS.

Example

HTTPS mode:

# Start server with the '-s' flag
❯ ./goserver -s
[!] Started HTTPS server on port :443

# Send request
❯ curl https://127.0.0.1 -k
