picoserver is a HTTP/HTTPS/HTTP2 capable server. This server is for development purposes only and uses Nodejs (currently) experimental Http2 module.

Motivation: This is a simple rewrite of an older project of mine that used 'now deprecated' http2 and https npm modules. It was originally inspired from simplehttp2server.

Installation

picoserver can be installed using npm or other nodejs package managers.

  npm install -g @picopath/http-server

Usage

Run the picoserver command from the directory you want to serve and go to http://localhost:5000
