A simple and (imo) nice-looking HTTP server that lists and serves files and folders. Makes use of Go's net/http package.

$ gomake

Make sure you have the Go weekly build (whenever they introduced the error built-in type and that stuff). It won't compile otherwise.

$ httplistd -help
Usage of httplistd:
  -listen="8080": Port to listen on
  -root="/moshee": Base path to serve files from '/'

The base path given by the -root option must be an absolute path if you use the equals sign (-root=/home/user/sites/public). If you must use shorthand, use a space (-root ~/sites/public). It defaults to your home directory.

Until I figure out how to fork into the background, run httplistd with screen (screen -S listd ./httplistd [OPTIONS]) or jobs (./httplistd [OPTIONS] &>/dev/null &).

For now, it's a standalone executable. In the near future I will probably make a package version for my upcoming plugin-oriented web server, gas.
