# http-server: a command-line http server
`http-server` is a simple, zero-configuration command-line http server. It is powerful enough for production usage, but it's simple and hackable enough to be used for testing, local development, and learning.
# Installing globally:
Installation via `npm`:
npm install http-server -g
This will install `http-server` globally so that it may be run from the command line.
## Usage:
http-server [path] [options]
`[path]` defaults to `./public` if the folder exists, and `./` otherwise.
# Installing as a node app
mkdir myapp cd myapp/ jitsu install http-server
*If you do not have `jitsu` installed you can install it via `npm install jitsu -g`*
## Usage
### Starting http-server locally
node bin/http-server
*Now you can visit http://localhost:8080 to view your server*
## Available Options:
`-p` Port to use (defaults to 8080)
`-a` Address to use (defaults to 0.0.0.0)
`-d` Show directory listings (defaults to 'True')
`-i` Display autoIndex (defaults to 'True')
`-e` or `--ext` Default file extension if none supplied (defaults to 'html')
`-s` or `--silent` Suppress log messages from output
`--cors` Enable CORS via the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header
`-o` Open browser window after starting the server
`-c` Set cache time (in seconds) for cache-control max-age header, e.g. -c10 for 10 seconds (defaults to '3600'). To disable caching, use -c-1.
`-U` or `--utc` Use UTC time format in log messages.
`-P` or `--proxy` Proxies all requests which can't be resolved locally to the given url. e.g.: -P http://someurl.com
`-S` or `--ssl` Enable https.
`-C` or `--cert` Path to ssl cert file (default: cert.pem).
`-K` or `--key` Path to ssl key file (default: key.pem).
