http/1.1 static web server in kotlin
Kota is a HTTP/1.1 implementation of a concurrent static web server in Kotlin.
Work in progress. Many important features like caching are not implemented.
Since it’s a static web server (like GitHub pages), it only supports GET requests.
Build using these -
```shell script
git clone https://github.com/l0llygag/kota
cd kota
gradle build
Two jars will be built in `build/libs/` - `kota-x.x.x.jar` and `kota-x.x.x-all.jar` (with dependencies)
## Usage
CLI arguments:
Argument Name | CLI Name | Description | Type | Default
--------------|----------|-------------|------| -------
Port | --port | Port on which the server will listen for requests. | number | 8080
Public Folder | --public | Root folder to serve files. Needs to end with '/' | string | public/
All static files that need to be hosted should be in the `Public Folder` provided using CLI argument. (default: `public/`)
— root/
|— public/
| |— index.html
| |— subfolders/
|— kota-x.x.x-all.jar
To run the jar:
`java -jar build/libs/kota-x.x.x-all.jar --port PORT --public FOLDER/`
> You will need JDK 8+
In case you want to use it as a library, you can include the jar in your class-path and use
```kotlin
val serverConfiguration = ServerConfiguration(...)
Server(serverConfiguration).listen()
