Webify

A simple utility to serve static files to your browser. Handy to test Javascript apps. Supported backends include: WEBrick, Thin, and Mongrel.

What's Different About This Fork?

The original project did not provide full support for Thin. Fortunately, a couple of lines of code is all that is need to fix that problem!

I've submitted a pull request to the maintainers. In the meantime, please feel free to use this version.

Installation

1. Clone this repo.
2. Change directory in to your local clone of this repo.
3. Execute gem install -l webify

Usage

1. Change directory in to a directory that you would like to serve.
2. Either execute webify -t to start up Webify using Thin, or webify to start up Webify using WEBrick.
3. Open http://localhost:3000 in your Web browser. The directory listing that you are now seeing in your browser is that same directory that you started Webify in.
