Nasus HTTP Server
A simple zero-configuration command-line HTTP files server. Like Python's SimpleHTTPServer
but scalable. Π‘an easily handle thousands of simultaneous connections.
Implemented in Clojure
with Aleph
and Netty
. Mostly as an example. It's still skillful and handy tho'. There's even nothing wrong with putting it to production.
Usage
Run in the directory you want to serve:
clj -Sdeps '{:deps {nasus {:mvn/version "0.1.7"}}}' -m http.server
Or specify custom port:
clj -Sdeps '{:deps {nasus {:mvn/version "0.1.7"}}}' -m http.server 8001
