http-serve: Command-line HTTP Server

JSON →
library 1.0.1 ·javascript
verified Jun 17, 2026

http-serve is a command-line HTTP server that builds upon the foundational `http-server` package, enhancing it with key features such as gzip compression and a configurable fallback mechanism for nonexistent routes (404s). It also includes built-in HTTPS support, making it a robust solution for both local development and front-end testing environments. The current stable version is 1.0.1, indicating a mature yet focused tool. As a CLI utility, its release cadence is typically driven by new feature additions, bug fixes, or dependency updates. Its primary differentiators lie in its zero-configuration approach, ease of use for quick static file serving, and the added capabilities for gzipped assets and Single Page Application (SPA) routing compared to basic HTTP servers.
