serve

Dead simple localhost server.

Start serving the current folder at the first available port after 8080 and open the browser to the corresponding adress.

> serve
2022/07/07 14:31:44 [serve] Start serving the current folder at http://localhost:8080.
2022/07/07 14:31:44 [serve] Request: /

Or if there is piped data it will be served.

> echo test | serve
2022/07/07 14:33:46 [serve] Piped data is present.
2022/07/07 14:33:46 [serve] Start serving the current folder at http://localhost:8080.
2022/07/07 14:33:55 [serve] Request: /
2022/07/07 14:33:55 [serve] Serve piped data at root.

Only two flags are available:

• -p : choose the port to use. If not set the first available after 8080 will be used.

  > serve -p 8888
  2022/07/07 14:34:56 [serve] Start serving the current folder at http://localhost:8888.
  2022/07/07 14:34:56 [serve] Request: /
• -t : serve at the given path

  > serve -t 'foo'
  2022/07/07 14:36:54 [serve] Start serving at http://localhost:8080/foo/.
  2022/07/07 14:36:54 [serve] Request: /foo/
