Simple Ruby HTTP Server

http_server_ruby

NOTE: This thing isn't secure. Don't use in Production.

This is simply for demo & learning purposes.

Usage

1. Start the server: ruby server.rb
2. Open the browser and go to http://localhost:2000/ or curl -v http://localhost:2000
3. Add a new file to view/newfile.html
4. Render the file in the browser via http://localhost:2000/newfile.html or curl -v http://localhost:2000/newfile.html

Why is it not secure?

1. Run ruby server.rb
2. Run curl -v http://localhost:2000/../server.rb --path-as-is

The above command will literally return the contents of server.rb - that's bad.
