Description-en: serve or receive files from shell via a small HTTP server
servefile is a small HTTP-server intended for temporary file transfer mostly
in the local network. By default the server redirects all HTTP requests to a
file given as first argument, so only IP and port must be given to another
user to access it.
.
servefile is also able to list directories, generate SSL certificates for
HTTPS on-the-fly, do HTTP basic auth and provide a platform for uploads
via either a HTML formular or a simple POST/PUT.
.
Note that this HTTP-server's purpose is not production grade static file
serving or running as a daemon.
