A simple HTTP file server integrated with Let's Encrypt, gzip and CORS

petit_httpd










This is a simple HTTP file server integrated with Let’s Encrypt, gzip and CORS.

Motivation

Since Dart can run in many native platforms (Linux/x64, macOS/x64/arm64, Windows/x86),
it can be an awesome way to have a HTTP Server running in any place,
including all the basic features needed today.

API Documentation

See the API Documentation for a full list of functions, classes and extension.

Usage

import 'dart:io';

import 'package:petit_httpd/petit_httpd.dart';

void main() async {

      port: 8080,
      securePort: 443,
      bindingAddress: '0.0.0.0',
      letsEncryptDirectory: Directory('/etc/letsencrypt/live'),
      domains: {'mydomain.com': 'contact@mydomain.com'});

  var ok = await petitHTTPD.start();
