Backstory: What started as a personal project to quickly host some web pages turned into a rabbit hole of yak shaving and that is how I ended up making Binserve. I automated the steps I usually take to host static pages into this project which is tweakable via the configuration file. And its also pretty fast.
It currently does gzip compression by default. Compression modes for specific files sounds interesting, I will definitely get around to implementing that.
Let me know your feedback/suggestions!
