httpsrv

A simple HTTP(S) server which sucks much less than python3 -m http.server (96k vs 3.5k requests per second with wrk -t4 -c200 -d10s <addr>). Another selling point is an unbearably awesome name.

Based on my fork of tiny but mighty cpp-httplib.

How to build

git clone https://github.com/vitaly-castLabs/httpsrv.git && \
cd httpsrv && \
cmake . && \
cmake --build . --config Release

httpsrv 80                     - serve http on port 80 (might require sudo)
httpsrv 8443 cert.pem pkey.pem - serve https on port 8443
