A static file server for testing web frontends where you want to fool around with the URL but need predictable content served.
npm install servitol
servitol path/to/content/ 8080
mkdir -p path/to/content
cd !$
echo "ultimate fallback" > index.html
echo "exactly what you want" > exact.html
mkdir "subdir"
echo "a subdirectory index" > subdir/index.html
echo "subdirectory exact content" > subdir/exact.html
If the requested path exists, Servitol gives you that file.
If that path doesn't exist, but the directory does, and it has an index.html, Servitol gives you that.
Otherwise, Servitol gives you /index.html
