Description

New port: www/miniserve

Miniserve is a small self-contained ad-hoc HTTP server that allows
you to quickly serve some files over HTTP.

Features:

  • Easy to use
  • Just works: Correct MIME types handling out of the box
  • Single binary drop-in with no extra dependencies required
  • Authentication support with username and password
  • Fast and highly parallel (thanks to Rust and Actix)

It is an interesting alternative to some popular solutions:

  • Python's built-in webserver: Needs to have Python installed, is low performance, and also does not handle MIME types correctly in some cases.
  • netcat: Not as convenient to use and sending directories is nontrivial.
