A barebones PowerShell HTTP server. With favicon, too!
-
Grant permissions on the HTTP prefix you want (that way the script does not need to run as admin)
netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:1234/ user=Everyone -
Import-Module PServeREST Invoke-PServeREST
Accessing http://localhost:1234/<resource> runs Resources\<resource>.ps1 script. This resource script should contain functions named <HTTP_VERB>-<resource> that handles a verb for this resource (e.g GET-Time, POST-Name, PUT-Something and etc.). Whatever the function returns is returned to the client.
The resource script is dot-sourced on every request so you can edit, save & test it immediately.
