Minimal python http server (works on Windows)

Server.py

import http.server
import socketserver

HOST = "localhost"
PORT = 8080

class HttpRequestHandler(http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
    extensions_map = {
        ".js":"text/javascript",
    }

httpd = socketserver.TCPServer((HOST, PORT), HttpRequestHandler)

try:
    print(f"serving at http://{HOST}:{PORT}")
    httpd.serve_forever()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pass

The override is needed to ensure the correct MIME type is used when serving javascript. The default mapping comes from the registry, which says .js files are text/plain. See python/cpython#88141.
