The current version of un.rb httpd shows port number only:

$ ruby -run -e httpd
[2021-05-03 21:55:09] INFO  WEBrick 1.7.0
[2021-05-03 21:55:09] INFO  ruby 3.1.0 (2021-05-03) [x86_64-linux]
[2021-05-03 21:55:09] INFO  WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=32129 port=8080

To access this server, we have to type http://127.0.0.1:8080 in the address bar of browser.

This feature request appends URLs as follows:

[2021-05-03 21:55:15] INFO  WEBrick 1.7.0
[2021-05-03 21:55:15] INFO  ruby 3.1.0 (2021-05-03) [x86_64-linux]
[2021-05-03 21:55:15] INFO  WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=32182 port=8080
[2021-05-03 21:55:15] INFO  To access this server, open this file in a browser:
[2021-05-03 21:55:15] INFO      http://127.0.0.1:8080
[2021-05-03 21:55:15] INFO      http://[::1]:8080

This is often useful. Some terminals also make URLs clickable.

I'd like to merge this PR soon. Let me know if you have any objection.

Sounds fine to me.
Alternatively this could be part of the default output when starting WEBrick,
I think that would be useful in more situations.

Puma does this for instance.

That's a good idea. However, since the definition of the port number output is in the HTTPServer superclass WEBrick::GenericServer, the amount of change is likely to be a little large, so I will leave it for future work.　Thanks for comment anyway.
