Ad-hoc HTTP server for file sharing
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 type correctly in some cases.
- netcat Not as convenient to use and sending directories is nontrivial.
