rust-server

A tiny, dependency-free HTTP server written in Rust. It serves static files from public/ and includes a couple of example routes.

Features

• Pure Rust, no external crates
• Serves static files from a configurable PUBLIC_PATH
• Minimal HTTP request parsing/response writing (for learning and experiments)

Running

cargo run

Then open:

• http://127.0.0.1:8080/ (serves public/index.html)
• http://127.0.0.1:8080/about (simple HTML string)
• http://127.0.0.1:8080/style.css (static file from public/)

Configuration

PUBLIC_PATH controls where static files are loaded from.

By default it uses: <repo>/public

Example:

PUBLIC_PATH=/absolute/path/to/your/public cargo run

Notes

This project is intentionally minimal and currently focuses on GET requests and simple file serving.
