http-server: a command-line http server
http-server is a simple, zero-configuration command-line http server. It is powerful enough for production usage, but it's simple and hackable enough to be used for testing, local development, and learning.
Installing globally:
Installation via npm:
npm install http-server -g
This will install http-server globally so that it may be run from the command line.

Usage:

http-server [path] [options]
[path] defaults to ./public if the folder exists, and ./ otherwise.
Installing as a node app
mkdir myapp
cd myapp/
jitsu install http-server
If you do not have jitsu installed you can install it via npm install jitsu -g

Usage

Starting http-server locally

node bin/http-server
Now you can visit http://localhost:8080 to view your server

Deploy http-server to nodejitsu

jitsu deploy
You will now be prompted for a subdomain to deploy your application on

-p Port to use (defaults to 8080)
