lein-simpleton

A Leiningen plugin to serve files out of a local directory -- very similar to python -m SimpleHTTPServer <port>.

Usage

System-wide install

Put [lein-simpleton "1.3.0"] into the :plugins vector of your :user profile, or if you are on Leiningen 1.x do lein plugin install lein-simpleton 1.3.0.

Per-project install

Put [lein-simpleton "1.3.0"] into the :plugins vector of your project.clj.

Running

By default Simpleton provides a file-server in the directory where it's run. To run:

$ lein simpleton 5000

Navigate to http://localhost:5000 and see a directory listing. Click around to navigate directories and download (some) files. If a directory contains a file named either index.html or index.htm then Simpleton will attempt to serve that automatically.

:from

If you need to run Simpleton to serve files from a specific directory, then you can run something like the following:

lein simpleton 5000 file :from c:\Windows

This is especially useful if you would like to serve a specific sub-directory in a Leiningen-managed project:

lein simpleton 5000 file :from src

By default, the lein simpleton 5000 will always serve a Leiningen project's root without using the :from declaration above.

Running the echo server

Simpleton can also run an echo server that reflects the incomming HTTP headers back as EDN data.

$ lein simpleton 5000 echo

Navigate to http://localhost:5000` to download an EDN file.

Running the hello server

Simpleton can also run a "Hello" server that just returns a canned text string.

$ lein simpleton 5000 hello

Navigating to http://localhost:5000 to see the message.
