DESCRIPTION
averell is an incredibly simple web server, aiming at serving a single directory, fast.
OPTIONS
The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below.
-h, --help
- Show help and exit.
-p PORT, --port=PORT
- Set listening port (default: 8000).
-c, --cors
- Enable CORS (allowed origins: *).
-v, --verbose
- Be more verbose.
-d, --debug
- Debug mode (override verbose mode if any): print request and response headers.
-a, --access
- Read .avlaccess for per-directory properties.
-I, --no-index
- Do not serve index.html file automatically (can be overridden by .avlaccess).
directory
- Directory to server (default: current dir).
.AVLACCESS FILE FORMAT
This section describes the .avlaccess file format.
.avlaccess files can be placed anywhere in a directory served by averell. It contains properties applicable to this directory. Properties are inherited from parent directories.
SYNTAX
File is parsed using the file:consult/1 function of erlang/OTP (see m[blue]erlang/OTP documentationm[][1]). Parser is strict, be careful with ending dot, comma between tuples and no comma after last tuple.
Example of such file is given below:
-
[ {option1, value1}, {option2, value2} ].
OPTIONS
{index, <<"index.html">>}
- When requesting a directory path, look for the given filename and serves it if it exists. 403 otherwise.
{index, noindex}
- Do not server any index file when requesting a directory path. Such requests will return 403.
