You can use Connect and ServeStatic with NodeJS for this:

1. Install connect and serve-static with NPM

$ npm install connect serve-static

2. Create server.js file with this content:

var connect = require('connect');
var serveStatic = require('serve-static');
connect().use(serveStatic(__dirname)).listen(8080);

3. Run with NodeJS

$ node server.js

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