Busboy is a simple HTTP server used when testing things locally. Several newer internet things (tm) require a file to be loaded over http. This can be a pain when you just want to test something quickly - when doing a spike or something.

Busboy is written in golang, so if you have a golang environment setup, it's just a matter of building the application. There is nothing fancy with it.

 make

or

  go build cmd/busboy/main.go

Just running it...

 ./busboy

will start a server on port :8580 and serve the current directory. You can do:

 ./busboy --help

For options.

I have a alias in my shell to just bb.

alias bb=/home/user/Projects/busboy/build/busboy
