Description Mateusz Piotrowski freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-05-17 20:48:36 UTC 
miniserve is a small, self-contained cross-platform CLI tool that allows you
to just grab the binary and serve some file(s) via HTTP. Sometimes this is just
a more practical and quick way than doing things properly.

Key features:
 - Easy to use
 - Just works: Correct MIME types handling out of the box
 - Single binary drop-in with no extra dependencies required
 - Authentication support with username and password
 - Mega fast and highly parallel (thanks to Rust and Actix)

----

QA:
 - portlint -AC
 - manual testing on 12.0-CURRENT r333659

Patch adding a new www/miniserve port (v0.1.5, revision: 1)

I'm sorry. I should have tested it more thoroughly.

Here's an updated patch. 

BTW, that license could be viewed here: https://crates.io/crates/ring

Mmmm, I've never seen that.

I'll try to get access to a faster build machine then. It looks like miniserve dependencies are somewhat special and require more testing than most Rust ports. 

I'll report back once I've got the port to build and run reliably.

Thank you for your patience.

(In reply to Mateusz Piotrowski from comment #5)
The problem likely is that the backtrace-sys crate expects gmake in the build
environment.   It should just build now after ports r472373 since gmake is now
added as a build dependency on the framework level by cargo.mk.

This is several versions out of date. Is this still going anywhere?

  New port: www/miniserve

  Miniserve is a small self-contained ad-hoc HTTP server that allows
  you to quickly serve some files over HTTP.

  Features:
  - Easy to use
  - Just works: Correct MIME types handling out of the box
  - Single binary drop-in with no extra dependencies required
  - Authentication support with username and password
  - Fast and highly parallel (thanks to Rust and Actix)

  It is an interesting alternative to some popular solutions:
  - Python's built-in webserver: Needs to have Python installed, is
    low performance, and also does not handle MIME types correctly
    in some cases.
  - netcat: Not as convenient to use and sending directories is
    nontrivial.
