It's a JavaScript http server that:
- accepts a text configuration file (like nginx)
- can be configured with JS code (like express)
- might be started with configuration argument (without config file)
- has clean semantics
- is plugin-oriented
There is POC available at https://github.com/krzykos/httplet It currently allows to serve static files from filesystem.
If you like the idea and would like it to be further developed please star the project on GitHub. Your stars are important now! :) Also any comments are welcome.
