Big list of http static server one-liners

Just notice the difference between python2 and python3 simple http server<p><pre><code> $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000 $ python3 -m http.server 8000 </code></pre> Even the python3 is nicer to read, I really like that they package the server in a module. It&#x27;s almost twice as slower in my machine.<p>Python2 Benchmark<p><pre><code> Requests per second: 606.03 [#&#x2F;sec] (mean) Time per request: 8.250 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 1.650 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 4412.05 [Kbytes&#x2F;sec] received </code></pre> And Python3 Benchmark<p><pre><code> Requests per second: 412.51 [#&#x2F;sec] (mean) Time per request: 12.121 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 2.424 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 3003.17 [Kbytes&#x2F;sec] received </code></pre> Both 1000 requests, concurrency level of 5. Listing a large directory with thousands of files.<p>I usually use python simple http server to share files and provide synchronization. One hopes that with a new python release it will get faster or at least smarter, both are the same implementation with no noticeable difference, just that python3 is slower.

Looks like Zawinski&#x27;s Law needs to be revised: &quot;Every program attempts to expand until it can serve HTML.&quot;
