feat: support for old browsers with `legacy-ui` by LeoBorai · Pull Request #490 · http-server-rs/http-server

Provides support for rendering a File Explorer on non-WASM browsers, enabled by using:

# modern (wasm powered) ui (default)
http-server start --service file-explorer
# legacy ui
http-server start --service file-server

Introduces the Handler trait for allowing further handlers in the future by just introducing a trait implementation. Both FileExplorer and FileServer are Handler compliant.
