Either provide the port as part of a valid hostname or separately. For example, the following are equal and serve at port 5000 on localhost:

whttp ":5000"
whttp "localhost:5000"
whttp localhost 5000

Docker

Pull the image from https://hub.docker.com/r/marcelstolin/wildcardhttp and use it like:

# Start a local instance on port 5000
docker run --rm -d -p 127.0.0.1:5000:80 --name wildcard marcelstolin/wildcardhttp:v0.1.0

The provided Dockerfile exposes the HTTP server at port 80. The Makefile supports Docker and Podman, and provides the following commands:

make build-docker # Build the OCI image.
make run-docker   # Start the container in background. Set port with PORT=8000, otherwise 5000 is used.
make stop-docker  # Stop and remove the container.
