simple-httpd is aimed to be a simple replacement for using python -m SimpleHTTPServer to serve local files. Like SimpleHTTPServer, simple-httpd supports HTTP GET and HEAD requests and adheres to the HTTP/1.1 RFC 2616 guidelines.
The HTML output is a mix of the Python module layout and of an Apache directory listing layout.
If you're looking for a full featured or even just more capable web server, take a look at Caddy.
- HTTP2 with Let's Encrypt integration for automatic TLS, if enabled.
- Automatic self signed certificate generation and use, if enabled.
- Multiple language support: English, Italian, Spanish, Irish. ISO 639-1 are given on the CLI.

The port assignment is for the HTTP server. The TLS port will be 8081 and both will respond to requests.
simple-httpd -p 8080 -t some.valid.domain
Generate a self signed certificate and run the server
simple-httpd -g
Run server in Spanish
simple-httpd -l es
