Basic HTTP server for local hosting.
Copyright © 2024 Chris Roberts (Krobbizoid).
Holo is a basic HTTP server targeted at serving local files for testing. Unlike a typical HTTP server, Holo is single-threaded and forbids access from non-local requests.
Build Holo with cargo build --release and move the executable from
target/release/holo(.exe) to a directory with environment access. After this
you can use Holo from the command line:
holo [OPTIONS]Holo will serve files from the current working directory at
http://localhost:8080/ until Ctrl+C is used to exit.
| Short | Long | Value | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
-p |
--port |
<PORT> |
TCP port [default: 8080] |
-i |
--coi |
(None) | Enable cross-origin isolation |
-h |
--help |
(None) | Print help |
If the --port option is not set, the default port of 8080 will be used.
Ports below 1024 are likely to be reserved or require administrator
privileges.
If the --coi flag is set, additional HTTP headers will be served to enable
cross-origin isolation. Cross-origin isolation may not function correctly on
local servers in some browsers.
If the --help flag is set, Holo will print help information but not perform
any action.
Holo uses the following libraries:
- clap - Command line argument parsing.
- new_mime_guess - MIME type inference.
- percent-encoding - Request URL decoding.
