Simple HTTP Server

[Robtygart]

I was looking at Simple HTTP Server

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

how could I connect to this over the internet?

[vinnywright]

dose it have any documentation any where ?
when I started it it sead it was serving on 0.0.0.0 at port 8000 but did not say from where it was geting the content .

I see in Muon a "webfs" package that dose light HTTP serving , or install apache , it will work out the box for simpel stuff .
an example , pop this in your browsers URL bar http://209.102.243.176/

It will get the contet from the directory your in, before you launch it.

so I am guessing you where in your /home directory.

OK so I just started it from in my Documents folder ,,,,,going to my ip as in 209.102.243.176:8000 did nothing BUT using my LAN IP 192.168.2.3:8000 did give me the page ,,,,,,,,I would just half to forward port 8000 thrugh my router for it to work I would assume.
