+# webserver
+Simple http server written from scratch with no library depencencies.
+
+## features
+- list directory contents
+- serve `index.html` for a directory that has such a file
+- serve `/path/to/<something>.html` when you request `/path/to/<something>`, making urls a bit nicer
+- partial file requests so you can watch large video files without needing to load all of it first
+- logs requests to stdout
+
+## usage
+```
+webserver [127.0.0.1:12345] [/path/to/site/root]
+```
+Both arguments are optional but you must specify the ip if you specify the path.
+
+The default address is `127.0.0.1:55566` and it will serve the current directory.
