serve

Dead simple localhost server.

Start serving the current folder at the first available port after 8080 and open the browser to the corresponding adress.

> serve

2022/07/07 14:31:44 [serve] Request: /

Or if there is piped data it will be served.

> echo test | serve

2022/07/07 14:33:46 [serve] Start serving the current folder at http://localhost:8080.
