Features
- HTTP/2 over SSL/TLS (https) is used by default, if a certificate and key is given
- QUIC ("HTTP over UDP", supported by Chromium) can be enabled with a flag
- index.lua is Lua code that is interpreted as a handler function for the current directory
- Other files are given a mimetype based on the extension
- Directories without an index file are shown as a directory listing, where the design is hardcoded
- The server can be configured by commandline flags or with a lua script, but no configuration should be needed for getting started
