Start a temporary webserver using python SimpleHTTPServer

04 Mar 2015 • Python

To start a HTTP server on port 8000 (which is the default port), simple type:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

The PWD(present working directory) by which the command is executed will be served via HTTP. If we want to use custom port, use

python -m SimpleHTTPServer <portnumber>

For eg python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
