Nasus HTTP Server
A simple zero-configuration command-line HTTP files server. Like Python's SimpleHTTPServer but scalable. Сan 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.

clj -Sdeps '{:deps {nasus {:mvn/version "0.1.7"}}}' -m http.serverOr specify custom port:
