When I get it right,
* it's based on vibe.d
* but has a different usage (simplifies handling of html-files/folders)
(read http://code.dlang.org/packages/serve -> usage)

I like. It's a great idea.

It's mainly a replacement for `python -m SimpleHTTPServer`, and is just a very small tool around vibe.d's serveStaticFiles, which does a good job at serving static files and works much more reliable than the python variant.

I also added index file serving to vibe.d recently.

Nice to have this. It always felt dirty using SimpleHTTPServer to test dlang.org locally.

If you could write a brief article about it, that would be great! I think there's a lot of potential for D in that space, and having such articles will help promulgate the idea.

An article would exceed the amount of code I wrote, but I did read up how to serve static files really fast, that might make for an interesting article.
