http-server-basicauth-ssl: a command-line http server

http-server-basicauth-ssl is a simple, zero-configuration command-line securised Http Server based on :

  • http-server
  • BasicAuth
  • SSL

The main purpose was to have the same usefull tool as http-server but with more flexibility and security.

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. If you don't have npm yet:

 curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

Once you have npm:

 npm install http-server-basicauth-ssl -g

This will install http-server-basicauth-ssl globally so that it may be run from the command line.

Usage:

 http-server-basicauth-ssl  [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-basicauth-ssl 

If you do not have jitsu installed you can install it via npm install jitsu -g
