simplehttpserver

A simple HTTP/S server that supports file upload, basic authentication, and YAML rules for custom responses. A Go alternative to Python's http.server. More information: https://github.com/projectdiscovery/simplehttpserver.

• Start the HTTP server serving the current directory with [v]erbose output (listen on all interfaces and port 8000 by default):

simplehttpserver -verbose

• Start the HTTP server with [b]asic authentication serving a specific [p]ath over port 80 on all interfaces:

sudo simplehttpserver -basic-auth {{username}}:{{password}} -path {{/var/www/html}} -listen 0.0.0.0:80

• Start the HTTP server, enabling HTTPS using a self-signed certificate with custom SAN on all interfaces:

sudo simplehttpserver -https -domain {{*.selfsigned.com}} -listen 0.0.0.0:443

• Start the HTTP server with custom response [h]eaders and [u]pload capability:

simplehttpserver -upload -header '{{X-Powered-By: Go}}' -header '{{Server: SimpleHTTPServer}}'

• Start the HTTP server with customizable [r]ules in YAML (see documentation for DSL):

simplehttpserver -rules {{rules.yaml}}
