Python Simple Server

draft
Date: 2014-10-14

I found SimpleHTTPServer the other day, and it turned out to be a great way to easily serve a folder of html. Serving the site with a web server doesn't show errors when loading certain resources like viewing a file://whatever.html in the browser.

 python -m SimpleHTTPServer 
 python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8001 # custom port

After the server starts, your site can be view at http://localhost:8000.

Enjoyed this? — any BSV wallet, HandCash, or plain old dollars.

Leave a tip

Tips go directly to a Bitcoin SV address I control — peer to peer, no platform in between. A few thousand satoshis is a fraction of a cent; it's the gesture that counts.

From any BSV wallet

Scan the QR code with your wallet's camera, or copy the address.

With HandCash or any paymail wallet

Paymail is an email-style address for Bitcoin wallets. Send any amount to afomi@handcash.io

First time using Bitcoin? Yours Wallet is an open-source browser extension wallet, and HandCash is an easy mobile wallet — either takes a minute to set up.
