HTTPY

Simple HTTP server to list and manipulate files.

The objective of this project is to replace the http.server python module with a Flask server offering more features:

• Basic Authentication
• Directory listing
• Files upload and download
• Files and directories creation
• Files and directories deletion
• SSL encryption (HTTPS)

Clone the repository, go inside and then:

git clone https://github.com/WhatTheSlime/httpy.git
cd httpy
python3 -m pip install .

Basic usage

1. Start the server:

httpy --ssl -e

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -out cert.pem -keyout key.pem -days 365
httpy --ssl --cert cert.pem --key key.pem
