Re: Web server in one line of bash
#24This seems to be straight from Wikipedia and then wrapped in a while loop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netcat#Setting_up_a_one-shot_w... netcat's cool, but the post could've gone a bit further. If it's an intro "how to do this", maybe explain the moving parts for beginners?

#25If you have node-static installed.
npm install -g node-static
# serve up the current directory
$ static
serving "." at http://127.0.0.1:8080
Re: Web server in one line of bash
#26If you have python, then these are really useful, just serves up the current directory. Python 2.x: python -m SimpleHTTPServer Python 3.x: python -m http.server 8000
Or for https (e.g. when developing for Chrome's speech recognition API):
twistd --nodaemon web --path=. -c snakeoil.crt -k snakeoil.key --https=8443
openssl genrsa -passout pass:dummy -out snakeoil.secure.key 1024
openssl rsa -passin pass:dummy -in snakeoil.secure.key -out snakeoil.key
openssl req -new -subj "/commonName=localhost" -key snakeoil.key -out snakeoil.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 36500 -in snakeoil.csr -signkey snakeoil.key -out snakeoil.crtRe: Web server in one line of bash
#27In one line, using Go and goe [1]. :)
$ goe 'net/http' 'ListenAndServe(":8080", FileServer(Dir("/usr/share/doc/")))'

Similarly, if PHP 5.4 (or greater) is installed:
php -S 127.0.0.1:8080Re: Web server in one line of bash

This my defacto, PHP is installed on all the Linux servers I manage, mostly Debian/Ubuntu with DotDeb repos. You could probably get nc to pipe the output of php-cli for older PHP installs.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3940046/can-i-use-netcat-... seems to have a basic example.
