A simple HTTP server which serves static files in the working directory. By default serves on port 8080 or takes a port argument. Created as a fast replacement to Python's (python -m SimpleHTTPServer). Example usage: gosimplehttp 8000

gosimplehttp.go

package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	// Get the port
	flag.Parse()
	port := flag.Arg(0)
	if len(port) == 0 {
		port = "8080"
	}
	port = ":" + port

	// Get the working directory
	wd, err := os.Getwd()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Start the server
	fmt.Printf("Server listening on http://localhost%s\nWatching directory %s\n", port, wd)
	panic(http.ListenAndServe(port, http.FileServer(http.Dir(wd))))
}
