I did a `npm install http-server`. It threw me a module not found error twice - once for `eyes` and once for `colors` I ran it on a directory and tested it with `ab -n 100 -c 5 localhost:8080/`. Concurrency Level: 5 Time taken for tests: 0.046 seconds Complete requests: 100 Failed requests: 0 Write errors: 0 Total transferred: 175900 bytes HTML transferred: 149900 bytes Requests per second: 2159.97 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 2.315 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 0.463 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 3710.33 [Kbytes/sec] received So, in my micro benchmark, it doesn't do 6000 request/second on my box. EDIT: `ab -n 15000 -c 5 localhost:8080/` is about 3000 req/s on my machine for http-server; 2200 for SimpleHTTPServer. `python - SimpleHTTPServer 8080` gave me 1800 requests/second. As far as configuration goes, for a dev server(that's what both SimpleHTTPServer and http-server are for me), the only configurations I do is to change the port. Also, it's not like http-server is a highly configurable http server and framework combined into one - I for one can live without auto-index on/off.
