HTTP Server Online

Start a local HTTP server without any tools, just open a web page.

Try It Online

https://http-server.etherdream.com

OR https://hs.etherdream.com

http-server.mp4

Custom 404

If /path/to/foo does not exist, we will try:

• /path/to/404.html

• /path/404.html

• /404.html

• return 404 Not Found

Index Page

For /path/to/, we will try:

• /path/to/index.html

• 404.html (/path/to/404.html, /path/404.html, /404.html)

• Directory Indexing

Trailing Slash

If /path/to is a directory, we will redirect to /path/to/.

Stop

Access /?stop to stop the server.

Limitations

• Your browser must support File System Access API and Service Worker API

• The target website can not use Service Worker API because it is already occupied

• The target website can only be accessed in the same browser and session

TODO

This is just a toy that took a few hours, and more interesting features will be added later.

• Tunnel (expose local server to the Internet)

• P2P (HTTP over WebRTC)
