This is bordering on off-topic, but I routinely want to quickly serve up a set of BAM files to users for viewing via IGV and the like via a simple http server. Both python and node (http-server) servers do not seem to correctly support range requests. Short of configuring and running something more heavyweight (nginx, apache, etc.), are there other simple command-line http servers that can support quickly and easily serving up a directory?
set-up a **jetty** server? see the gist below. you just have to change the path

    holderPwd.setInitParameter("resourceBase", "/home/user/path/to/directory");
