http server with auto generated SSL
npm install hs2hs2 is absolutely extending http-server, only added one feature => auto-generated ssl
bash
For example
hs2 -p 8080 -S # will create a https server without cert-undefined error
hs2 means http-server-v2. Prevent naming conflicts with http-server
And everything including usage,parameters ... are the same except the installation!
`
Why I create this?
> I am front-end developer trouble with webrtc, webrtc requires https for audio/video usage, and unsafe https connection is OK.
> But every time https-server requires me to apply -C && -K, I'm going to be sick.
TODO
* [ ] support detached mode, run in background after quit shell/cmd (using pm2)
Installation:
#### Globally via npm
npm install -g hs2
Usage from http-server(Usage is absolutely the same):
hs2 [path] [options]
[path] defaults to ./public if the folder exists, and ./ otherwise.
Now you can visit http://localhost:8080 to view your server
Note: Caching is on by default. Add -c-1 as an option to disable caching.
Available Options:
-p or --port Port to use (defaults to 8080)
-a Address to use (defaults to 0.0.0.0)
-d Show directory listings (defaults to true)
-i Display autoIndex (defaults to true)
-g or --gzip When enabled (defaults to false) it will serve ./public/some-file.js.gz in place of ./public/some-file.js when a gzipped version of the file exists and the request accepts gzip encoding. If brotli is also enabled, it will try to serve brotli first.
-b or --brotli When enabled (defaults to false) it will serve ./public/some-file.js.br in place of ./public/some-file.js when a brotli compressed version of the file exists and the request accepts br encoding. If gzip is also enabled, it will try to serve brotli first.
-e or --ext Default file extension if none supplied (defaults to html)
-s or --silent Suppress log messages from output
--cors Enable CORS via the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header
-o [path] Open browser window after starting the server. Optionally provide a URL path to open. e.g.: -o /other/dir/
-c Set cache time (in seconds) for cache-control max-age header, e.g. -c10 for 10 seconds (defaults to 3600). To disable caching, use -c-1.
-U or --utc Use UTC time format in log messages.
--log-ip Enable logging of the client's IP address (default: false).
-P or --proxy Proxies all requests which can't be resolved locally to the given url. e.g.: -P http://someurl.com
--username Username for basic authentication [none]
--password Password for basic authentication [none]

-C or --cert Path to ssl cert file (default: cert.pem).
-K or --key Path to ssl key file (default: key.pem).
