# zipserver
Efficient multithreaded HTTP server of static websites stored in zip archives.
## Features
- Serve static files stored in one or more zip archives
- Compressed and uncompressed files inside a zip archive are efficiently served directly from the zip archive without having to copy/uncompress
- Multiple worker threads from a pool
- Open file handle caching (opening and closing files is 2x-3x more costly than reading them).
- Serve default index file or browseable directory lists if there's no index file
- Specify folder to use as root for a given zip archive
- Map zip archives into arbitrary server directories
