I shared the link, since it was hosting webm based videos like a champ. I figured Fro wouldn't mind :)
The old solution we had been trying was weblite, and that needs all the user-content data to be manually added to weblite. Now I get to be lazy, cross platform, and have stand alone binaries ;)
Also while on this topic of starting up quick, simple servers for whatever reason like testing etc. I've also had success with Web Server for Chrome which supposedly even works fine on Chromebooks.
However, that code won't deal with other things like changing the port, having a built-in index, or having the server run for a discrete amount of files to serve.

Works like a charm.

Also, go is no different than Java: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/jre/api/net/httpserver.... The server just allows it to be stand alone as an application.
