SPAS 0.1

Features

• Serve single-page apps, that is, serve the same HTML page no matter what the requested path.

• Serve static files as well

• Return “normal” 404s if a static file is missing, to avoid returning HTML when eg. a script was expected.

• Support SSL. This is mostly handy in case you want to test things like browser geolocation API locally using a custom domain (browsers only allow geolocation on HTTPS or localhost).

Sample usage

This will work nicely to serve the demo app:

spas --bind 127.0.0.1 --port 8000 --root ./demo-app/ --static js,css,img --default-page index.html

Note that, since most options have acceptable defaults, the following would do just the same:

spas --root ./demo-app/
