    Static server shell function

A Modified function of Paul Irish's StaticServer shell function, according to this gist You can run static servers for many languages.
How it works

$ staticServer <lang> <port> #port is optional, default is 8000
Here is an example of how to use it
$ staticServer ruby 9000
I'm a shell newbie so I'm sure this can be done in a better way, so fork it, modify it & make it better.

  
## gistfile2.sh
# Start an HTTP server from a directory, optionally specifying the port
staticServer() {
    local port="${2:-8000}"
    open "http://localhost:${port}/"

    if [[ "$1" == "ruby" ]]; then
        ruby -run -ehttpd . -p$port
    elif [[ "$1" == "php" ]]; then
        php -S localhost:$port
    else
        # Set the default Content-Type to `text/plain` instead of `application/octet-stream`
        # And serve everything as UTF-8 (although not technically correct, this doesn’t break anything for binary files)
        python -c $'import SimpleHTTPServer;\nmap = SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.extensions_map;\nmap[""] = "text/plain";\nfor key, value in map.items():\n\tmap[key] = value + ";charset=UTF-8";\nSimpleHTTPServer.test();' "$port"
    fi
}
	# Start an HTTP server from a directory, optionally specifying the port
	staticServer() {
	local port="${2:-8000}"
	open "http://localhost:${port}/"

	if [[ "$1" == "ruby" ]]; then
	ruby -run -ehttpd . -p$port
	elif [[ "$1" == "php" ]]; then
	php -S localhost:$port
	else
	# Set the default Content-Type to `text/plain` instead of `application/octet-stream`
	# And serve everything as UTF-8 (although not technically correct, this doesn’t break anything for binary files)
	python -c $'import SimpleHTTPServer;\nmap = SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.extensions_map;\nmap[""] = "text/plain";\nfor key, value in map.items():\n\tmap[key] = value + ";charset=UTF-8";\nSimpleHTTPServer.test();' "$port"
	fi
	}
