Hi,

Frequently I need to run a simple file server in a directory, for example to temporarily share files, or try out some html / JS.  If I want to do this with Ruby, I have to download a gem, or write a few lines with WEBrick.

I'd like to add a simple file server that when required will just serve the files from the current directory like this:

###
# Simple WEBrick file server.  Usage:
#
# Start the file server, serving the files in the current directory
#
#   $ ruby -rwebrick/simple -e start
#
# Start the file server, serving the files in the current directory on
# port 5000.
#
#   $ ruby -rwebrick/simple -e start 5000
#
# Start the file server, serving the files in /tmp on port 5000.
#
#   $ ruby -rwebrick/simple -e start 5000 /tmp

I've attached the patch that implements this.  Thanks!
