| # The Simplest Possible Ruby Web Server. It serves up all the files in the current directory; | |
| # use when developing static HTML/JS pages locally without a backend framework like Rails or | |
| # Sinatra and their associated servers. This was useful for me in avoiding XMLHTTPRequest errors | |
| # in Chrome, triggered by running a page on the local file protocol and trying to AJAX request | |
| # an API resource via HTTP. The browser will believe you are making a cross-origin request unless | |
| # the request is coming from both the same domain as the requested resource AND via the same | |
| # protocol (file/HTTP/etc). | |
| ruby -run -e httpd . -p 3000 |
