About:
http-server-rs is a lightweight, high-performance static file server written in Rust. It provides a simple command-line interface for serving local directories over HTTP with support for custom ports, headers, and CORS. The tool prioritizes speed and security, making it ideal for modern web development workflows.
Key Features:
  • High-performance static file serving
  • Customizable CORS and headers
  • Live reload capability
  • TLS/SSL support
  • Cross-platform binary
Use Cases:
  • Local web development and testing
  • Serving static sites and single-page applications
  • Quick file sharing on a local network
  • Mocking API endpoints with static JSON files
Alternatives:
  • http-server (Node.js) – Heavier due to Node.js runtime, but more plugin ecosystem
  • python3 -m http.server – Built-in to Python, but less performant and feature-rich
  • busybox httpd – Extremely lightweight, but minimal features and configuration
