+	同时可以使用set_http_file_server(std::string path);函数来将cinatra转换为一个http文件下载服务器，path为该文件服务器的路径。示例如下:
+
+	#include "cinatra.hpp"
+	using namespace cinatra;
+

 ```
 
+At the same time, you can use the `set_http_file_server(std::string path);` function to build an http file download server. The parameter path is the path of all downloadable files. Examples are as follows:
+
+```cpp
+#include "cinatra.hpp"
+using namespace cinatra;
+
+int main() {
+	http_server server(std::thread::hardware_concurrency());
+	server.set_http_file_server("http_file_server");
+	server.listen("0.0.0.0", "8080");
+	// ......
+}
+```
+
+In this time, when accessing the `http_file_server` path of the current server, all downloadable files will be displayed in the browser, and you can download them by clicking on them.
