autoserve

Double-click HTTP server for Windows

autoserve uses Python's BaseHTTPServer class to allow users access to locations on disk from a browser without installing anything or placing trust in closed source (and potentially unsafe) products.

Running

Clone the Git repository
Copy/move the autoserve_dist_v0.1.zip file to target location
Extract the zip
Run autoserve.exe

Usage

autoserve supports two arguments (optional):

autoserve.exe [<port> [directory]]

  port                Specify port to run HTTP server on (default 8000)
  directory           Specify directory to serve (default is one up from
                                                    the current working directory)

Building

To build the autoserve executable, you should run the following command on a Windows machine with Python2.7.10 (tested, other versions may work):

setup.py py2exe
