Ridiculously simple http server for static files.
On OS X you can install with Homebrew:
$ brew install chrismytton/formula/httpserver
Or you can install from source using Go:
$ go get github.com/chrismytton/httpserver
To serve the current directory on port 8080:
$ httpserver
To use a different port specify with the -port flag:
$ httpserver -port 5000
To serve a different directory use the -root flag:
$ httpserver -root public
-port Defines the TCP port to listen on. (Defaults to 8080).
-root Defines the directory to serve. (Defaults to the current directory).
Inspired by nodeapps/http-server.
