simple-http-server's Issues

Will you switch to a different web framework now that iron is no longer actively maintained?

Or is that too much work?

[feature] Support a file name filter?

Hi, this simple http server is a real fantasy one. However, I think if there is a simple file name filter would make it even better. For instance, sometimes, there are lots of log files in a folder, and a filter option like --filterfalse=*.log is an easy way to ignore them, and serving a cleaner directory.

[feature] Preview markdown files

I would be nice to have a github/gitlab like feature to automatically render README.md or other markdown files.

web server access only for the local machine

Is it possible to limit the web server to accept only the requests from the local machine?
For example if a developer works in a local network with other developers and don't want the others to access his local web server.

Invalid Unicode (?) causes a thread to panic and the server to return error code 500

simple-http-server -p 8080 . and then run curl 'localhost:8080/%ff' and the thread panics. Backtrace says the issue is on line 369 of main.rs.

Does not handle files with `?` or other special characters in name

Create a file named "url?encoding&test%test" in a directory
Start simple-http-server
Click on the file

Expected: It shows the file
Actual: 404, because the link was "http://localhost:8008/url?encoding&test%test" instead of being URL-encoded.

Looks like it's not URL-encoding file names. This is with 0.3.4 that I installed just now via cargo install.

HTML Templates

Have you considered using templates for your HTML? The maud library integrates with iron quite well. I don't know if it would suit all of your needs but it may be better than handwriting HTML.

Missing binaries for 0.6.6 release

@TheWaWaR There is the version update to 0.6.6 mas there is no tag or github release

Escape special characters in filenames

Similar to #2, the site shows strange behaviour when a filename contains special characters like <.
For example a file called <svg onload=alert(1)> (yeah, quite unusual filename but anyway) actually executes javascript and cannot be downloaded.

According to owasp, you should escape the following characters inside html code:

& to &
< to <
> to >
" to "
' to '
/ to /

And according to https://stackoverflow.com/a/9189067, the following characters inside attributes (so e.g. inside a href):

& to &
< to <
" to "

I hope these are all :)

support watch mode and hot reload for html and css

Optional HTTPs support?

32-bit windows binary

Hi, can you compile 32-bit windows binary please?
Thanks.

Preview document could messy code

Can open file with utf-8 ?

Add arm binary in release

it would be nice to have armv7 and arm64

Version from cargo and released bin is unsecure!

http://x.x.x.x/%2F is possible! No problem to retrieve ro-files from /etc.

Also would be nyce to see a https-only and an autogenration for self-signed certs.

Bump version

Version 0.3.6 fails to compile on Windows because of a use std::os::unix::ffi::OsStrExt;. This is fixed in the master branch but in the meantime it makes it impossible to do cargo install simple-http-server.

[feature] Create new folder when upload enabled

Can you give an example on how to upload using the API?

Turn simple-http-server into a library

So we can embed simple-http-server into an Application.

Will do it after replace iron with actix-web.

change upload file size

Currently I couldn't upload files that are larger than ca. 5 Mb.

I get the following error:

 thread '<unnamed>' panicked at '`PartialReason` was not `IoError`: SizeLimit', /home/user/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/multipart-0.16.1/src/server/save.rs:822:18

Would be nice to set the threshold on the command-line.

Thanks.

Improve error handling

Avoid use of panics (unwrapping) for error handling.

thread 'main' panicked at 'Could not bind on: 0.0.0.0:8000: Io(Error { repr: Os { code: 98, message: "Address already in use" } })'

Could be something like:

Could not bind on: 0.0.0.0:8000: Address already in use

LAN Gigabit network download test

After several times of LAN Gigabit network test download 10G single file, the download speed is never reached the limit, the speed is about 60-80MB / s, but I use the go language version of the HTTP server, the speed can reach the hardware limit, the speed is about 98MB /s, and the speed is very stable.
For example this HTTP SERVER: https://github.com/stewart/http-server
Is it a question of programming language efficiency? Is there room for improvement? Because the go language program is too large, I don't want to use it.

Why is there no binairy release for version 0.6 for windows ?

[feature] Add proxy features

I am using this server and i only miss one feature.

simple-http-server --proxy '/link/,http://www.example.com/link/'

support token or password access files？

thank u

Content-Length 0 in HEAD Response

If I try a HEAD request on any file that simple_http_server is serving, it always returns the Content-Length header with value 0. If I try the GET request on the same file, it returns the correct value in that header. HEAD is often used by many file downloading software to determine the length of the file before downloading it. This would break them (as it's doing in my case).

[feature] delete files and folders

Please add Content-Disposition in the downloaded response header

The file name can be obtained through Content-Disposition

[feature] Create folder

It would be nice to create folder within the browser

Please support serve specified file for not found path (useful for single page apps)

Like the --entry-file parameter of live-server.

OpenSSL vendoring should be optional

I use simple-http-server for easy on time sharing of files inside the local network. I don't want to rebuild it for every new security update of OpenSSL. If someone needs it statically linked for some usage inside a container, they can use the --features argument of cargo install

Add option of path prefix for reverse proxy

v0.6.5 arm binaries are x86-64

https://github.com/TheWaWaR/simple-http-server/releases/download/v0.6.5/armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf-simple-http-server

Is a x86-64 binary.

certificates generated by mkcert cause `mac verify failure`

I'm attempting to use simple-http-server with mkcert to create valid certs for local development. I'm generating a P12 cert with mkcert, but simple-http-server rejects it with mac verify failure.

Here's a recording of the process:

https://asciinema.org/a/tFAgoaVnHB1j9OsdG4YiIZJvq

I'd guess this isn't simple-http-server's issue, just reporting it in case there's a known fix, or if anyone can point me to the library that's emitting the error (hyper?).

feature request: drag and drop upload

[feature] add mime type bindings by command line

While experimenting with WebAssembly I found that (at least in Firefox) WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming() requires .wasm-resources to be delivered as application/wasm. Otherwise you end up with "TypeError: Response has unsupported MIME type".

Since application/wasm doesn't seem to be official, yet (https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml#application) I cannot expect simple-http-server to include this binding.

It would be helpful to be able to add bindings between file extensions and mime types via command line.

README title

This is a wonderful project that's been very useful to me!

Could I recommend updating the title to more idiomatic English? Any one of

How it looks
What it looks like
How does it look?
What does it look like?

would be perfect.

Is it possible to provide units for the "-l" parameter?

--upload-size-limit
The default setting is in bytes, but when uploading large files, it's inconvenient to set a large number of bytes. I hope to carry the letters k, m, g after the number, so as to define the file size limit for uploading. For example, 10m, for example, 1g.

Question: How to use --cert option ?

There is not instructions in the repository, and all method that I have tried failed with random error messages:
such as: Tls(Error { code: -25264, message: "MAC verification failed during PKCS12 import (wrong password?)" })'

methods:
https://gist.github.com/Eng-Fouad/6cdc8263068700ade87e4e3bf459a988
https://gist.github.com/princeppy/d00bad66d9caac86d9b7d3ce9e35fc12

Is it possible to add somewhere how such desired pkcs12 file could be generated ?

Symlinks show up as files

When making a symlink to a directory, it shows up as file in the parent directory listing, although it points to a directory. When clicking on the "file" it does take you to a correct directory listing.

Upload multiple files in android firefox cause 500 ERROR

simple-http-server version: 0.6.0

[documentation] nginx and systemd

Simple instructions are missing how to use the app with a proxy server like nginx or apache and how to turn it into a self-starting systemd-service.

Become `wget -m`-friendly

One typical application for Python's http.server is quickly getting several files over ad-hoc networks in combination with wget. For this to work well even across resumptions, I'd suggest to implement

Sending Last-Modified
Replying 304 to If-Modified-Since
Parse Range / serve Accept-Ranges and Content-Range

Possibly, this is something that should be delegated to Iron's Modifier<Response> implementation for Path, or another generic "respond from file" mechanism.

I wish it can add the option of default sorting

e.g.
simple-http-server --sortby name

Trying to get in touch regarding a security issue

Hi there,

I couldn't find a SECURITY.md in your repository and am not sure how to best contact you privately to disclose a security issue.

Can you add a SECURITY.md file with an e-mail to your repository, so that our system can send you the vulnerability details? GitHub suggests that a security policy is the best way to make sure security issues are responsibly disclosed.

Once you've done that, you should receive an e-mail within the next hour with more info.

Thanks! (cc @huntr-helper)
