Overview

This project implements a simple .NET 8 C# based single-file console application which serves static web content from a local filesystem folder on localhost. It supports HTTPS and handles the creation and use of the self-signed server certificate automatically.

Command line syntax:

serve [<rootFolder>] [--port:<number>] [--https] [--exitTimeoutSecs:<seconds>]
    --port             Port number to listen on (default: 8080)
    --https            Use HTTPS (default: false)
    --exitTimeoutSecs  Timeout in seconds to wait for requests before exiting (default: 300)

Example:

serve --port:3000 --https

This will check the availability of the self-signed server certificate, eventually create and install it, and then serve the contents of the current directory under https://localhost:3000/.
