Haskell equivalent for python -m http.server?

Question

Is there a way to start a http server to serve static files right from shell using ghc -e or runhaskell ?

Simper

Answer 1

The wai-app-static package ships with an executable named warp. This can be run from the command line to get a static file server. You can look at its implementation to see how you can reimplement that behavior from runhaskell.

Repeal

Answer 2

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hserv is also an option, this also uses wai-app-static.

cabal install hserve and run hserv.
