This is a bare bones simple static file server, written in Go. Its about as basic as it can get. It logs all requests to STDOUT. I use this as a Python SimpleHTTPServer replacement.
Recommended to have $GOPATH/bin in your $PATH
$ go get github.com/drj42/gostatic
Serve $HOME on 192.168.0.10:8000
$ gostatic -port=8000 -host=192.168.0.10 -root=$HOME
Serve current dir on 127.0.0.1:8080
$ gostatic
