README.md

a simple http server like python -m http.server but:

written in rust with actix, should be faster
allow concurrency
download whole directories in .tar format
better auto index
maybe announce itself on mDNS (avahi)
maybe compress

Usage [TODO]:

http-server [--bind ADDRESS] [--chdir DIRECTORY] [port]

  port                  Specify alternate port [default: 8000]
  --bind ADDRESS        Specify alternate bind address [default: all interfaces]
  --chdir DIRECTORY     Specify directory to server [default: current directory]

FAQ

Q: why .tar and not .zip? A: you can't stream a zip file efficiently, it needs to write back in a file.
