webdir

webdir is a simple Rust program that serves directory files in a HTTP web server. It's designed to be similar to Python's built-in http.server module.

Features

• Serves files from a specified directory
• Customizable port number and bind address

Installation

You can install webdir using Cargo, the Rust package manager:

cargo install webdir

Usage

To start the server, run the following command:

webdir

By default, the server will listen on port 8000 and bind to all available interfaces.

You can specify a custom port number using the -p or --port option:

 webdir -p 8080

You can specify a custom bind address using the -b or --bind option:

webdir --bind 127.0.0.1

You can specify a custom directory to serve using the -d or --dir option:

 webdir --dir /path/to/directory

Why webdir?

There are other similar crates in Rust for serving directories over HTTP, but I found them to be too complex and unnecessary for simple directory serving purposes. I created webdir for my personal use as a lightweight and easy-to-use alternative to those crates. Feel free to use it if you find it useful.
