I have a website in the making and I need to test it locally. I know I can just `python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000` and then open `http://localhost:8000/index.html` in my browser, but I’d rather use Julia instead.

I tested the [HttpServer.jl](https://github.com/JuliaWeb/HttpServer.jl) package, but couldn’t figure out how to use it for existing html, css, etc files.

Thanks!

Nope, I just quickly looked at their readme, I’ll give it a closer look later on. Thanks!
