#### Tiny static web server with TLS and HTTP/2 support

Static web server using the builtin Go http library.

It supports HTTP/2 and TLS.

This snap provides both an `h2static` command that can be run by any user,
with access to the user home directory, and a system-wide daemon service.

The service can be configured with the following options (via `snap set`):

* `allow-outside-symlinks`

  allow access to symlinks whose target is outside of the `serve-path`. This
  is disabled by default since it might be a security issue.
* `basic-auth`

  content of the crednetials file for Basic Authorization. Each line should
  contain colon-separated pair of username and SHA512 hash of the password.
* `disable-h2`

  set to true to disable HTTP/2 support.
* `disable-index`

  set to true to disable directory index.
* `disable-lookup-with-suffix`

  set to true to disable disable matching files with .htm(l) suffix for paths
  without suffix.
* `listen`

  the `address:port` for the service to listen on. The address can be omitted
  (e.g. `:8080`) to bind all addresses.

  If this option empty or null, the service will not be started.
* `request-path-prefix`

  a path prefix to be stripped for the request. This is mostly useful in the
  case where the server is behind a reverse proxy with a prefix set.
* `serve-path`

  the directory to serve content from. it's set to `$SNAP_COMMON` if not
  specified.

  If the `removable-media` interface is connected, paths under `/media` can
  also be used.
* `show-dotfiles`

  set to true to show hidden files (starting with a dot).
* `tls.cert`, `tls.key`

  ASCII contents of the TLS certificate and key. If both are set, HTTPS
  support will be enabled.
