Very similar to Anvil for mac, but for Windows instead.

# Bickern

A static file "server".

It exists as a tray application:

---

HowTo:

1. Left click the anvil icon in your tray bar.

2. Press the plus icon.

3. Give it a name and find path to a folder you want to serve.

Et voila. either press the entry in the list or navigate with your browser to that url.

***

Will serve directories that has either of the following files

 + index.html

 + index.htm

 + default.html

 + default.htm

It will map it to a local "dns"-address of choice. I.E - mycatsite.dev

What is really going on is that it maps a proxy from 127.0.0.1:{available port} to a private address in the 127.0.0.0/8 space

and then adds an entry in the hostfile for that ip.
