A basic Http Server that serve static content in a directory. Based on Kestrel (see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/servers/kestrel?view=aspnetcore-8.0)

Can be configugred by some command line options. Additional configuration should be provided in the following files:

• appsettings.json
• appsettings.{ENV}.json
• a config file specified by the -c option, or httpserver.json in the current directory by default And responds to classic ASP.Net Core options and env variables (ASPNETCORE_, DOTNET_, ...)

Example usage: HttpServer -d ../MyDir -p 8080 -c myconfig.json

By default, it can be run by just double-clicking (or ./HttpServer) without any options, and it will serve the files in the current directory at http://localhost:5000/

-d|--basedir:      The base directory to serve content from
-u|--urls:         A list of urls to listen to (see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/servers/kestrel/endpoints?view=aspnetcore-8.0#url-formats)
-p|--http_ports:   A list of HTTP ports to listen to
-ps|--https_ports: A list of HTTPS ports to listen to
-c|--config:       The configuration file to read (appsettings.json, appsettings.{ENV}.json, httpserver.json by default)
