A blazingly fast, minimal web server written in rust

Installation

verify rust and cargo are installed

rustc --version
cargo --version

clone, cd, format, and build the project

git clone https://github.com/pauytrh2/web-server
cd web-server
cargo fmt
cargo run

or in one line

git clone https://github.com/pauytrh2/web-server && cd web-server && cargo fmt && cargo run

Usage

1. Replace the contents of the site folder with any static site you want to host (must have index.html as the root of the site)
2. run (cargo fmt && cargo run)
3. visit the address at the port in your web browser (if you set the ADDRESS variable to "172.0.0.1" and the PORT variable to "4242", you would visit: "172.0.0.1:4242")
