200 OK Web Server is a lightweight, cross-platform HTTP server designed for local web development and file sharing. It is the successor to Web Server for Chrome, rebuilt by the original developer with modern native technologies. Users can serve static files from local directories and access them through a browser or local network. The server automatically detects MIME types and serves index.html files when available. Directory listings display file names, sizes, and modification dates. HTTP features include ETag caching, conditional requests, and byte-range support. Path traversal protection helps prevent unauthorized access outside the configured directory. The application supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and ChromeOS, with Chrome extension integration for convenient server control.
