# httpsrve
A lightweight HTTP server to browse and download files from your local directories.
## Features
- 🚀 Zero configuration web server
- 📂 Directory listing with navigation
- 📄 File serving with appropriate content types
- 🔗 Easy access to local files through a browser
## Installation
```bash
npm i httpsrve -g
```
## Usage
Basic usage (serves current directory on port 80):
```bash
httpsrv
```
Specify a different port:
```bash
httpsrv 8080
```
Specify a custom directory to serve:
```bash
httpsrv 80 files
```
Specify both port and directory:
```bash
httpsrv 3000 path/to/files
```
## How It Works
Once started, httpsrv will display a message like:
```
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 80 (http://localhost:80/) ...
