httphere is a simple Go/Chi powered http file server intended for ad hoc use such as testing HTML or temporarily exposing a local file system at the current working directory (hence httphere) and below.

Given the expected use, cache-control headers are disabled by default.

go install github.com/mwyvr/httphere@latest

httphere starts a webserver in the current working directory at the default or specified port; if that port cannot be bound to, it will attempt to bind to one of the next 100 ports in sequence.

By default, via the special address 0.0.0.0, the server binds to all available IPv4 addresses on the machine including its real IP address(es) and localhost/loopback at 127.0.0.1.

Available flags:

-address string
        Address server should listen on (default "0.0.0.0")
-nocache
        Sets no-cache and other headers.
        -nocache=false to disable (default true)
-port int
        Port server should bind to (default 8080)
