HTTP-Server

A simple http server built using Node.js.

To get started, run node server.js from the root directory.

The server serves static files from the directory where it runs. Next steps include adding support for GET/POST requests to the backend.

Server constants and settings can be found in the source/config.js file. To change whether the server communicates using HTTP or HTTPS, toggle the IS_SECURE variable in the config file.

Installation Instructions

The project can be installed globally using npm. It can then be used anywhere that has a private key and certificate in a subdirectory named cryptography. The module will then host any files found in the directory where it is running.

To Install Globally

node install --global "./Http Server"

To Run

npx awesome-server
