Node.JS static file web server, also provides CORSProxy, Http/Https proxy function. Put it in your path to fire up servers in any directory, takes an optional port argument. If provide second https port argument, it will also start https. For https to work, need to put key and cert file in the folder.

/** | |
Static http server implemented with NodeJS. | |
Features: | |
1. No external dependencies | |
2. Support http/https, with custom port. | |
3. Support CORSProxy function | |
4. Zero configuration, convension over configuration | |
5. Support gzip compression | |
Usage: | |
1. Static file directory | |
It will always serve the static files under current directory where the process is started. | |
2. Start http server with default port: (http on 80), it will server the static file under current directory | |
node static_server.js | |
3. Start http on 8080 and https on 8443, to support https, you need to put the key.pem and cert.pem under current directory | |
node static_server.js 8080 8443. | |
To generate cert.pem: openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 10000 -nodes | |
4. To access it as CORSProxy: | |
https://host/https://www.somewebsite.com | |
or | |
http://host/http://www.somewebsite.com | |
5. To bypass SSL certification check (when using proxy mode) | |
NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 node static_server.js | |

cors
Support http proxy
support https, and proxy
make the js file executable
Would you be willing to port this to run via nanohttpd in Java? https://github.com/NanoHttpd/nanohttpd
I would but my experience with Java isn't good enough to tackle this.
Fix few bugs related to proxy to an https server with custom port number
Added a usage example to by pass ssl certificate check.
