## Easy Webserving

Sometimes you want a dirt-simple way of serving one or more files via HTTP. You may be in the middle of developing some software and just want to easily test downloading a file, or often it's the easiest way to copy a file from your local machine, etc.

Below are multiple ways of doing so, separated by language.

I encourage you to open a [pull request](https://github.com/profburke/webserving-made-easy/pulls) or [issue](https://github.com/profburke/webserving-made-easy/issues) to add to this list!

- [Go](#go)

- [Python 2](#python2)

- [Python 3](#python3)

- [Ruby](#ruby)

- [Rust](#rust)

### Go

- go exec 'http.ListenAndServe(`:8080`, http.FileServer(http.Dir(`.`)))'

1. ### Python 2
