Another method

You can use Connect with NodeJS for this:

1. Install connect with NPM

npm install connect

1. Create server.js file with this content:

var connect = require('connect');
connect.createServer(
    connect.static(__dirname)
).listen(8080);

1. Run with NodeJS

node server.js

You can now go to http://localhost:8080/yourfile.html
