Install local Web server in your Browser

So you want to learn back-end Server side programming, but dont have easy access to a Webserver. Now you can install one right in your Browser in Chrome with 1 click. (Desktop only) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-server-for-chrome/ofhbbkphhbklhfoeikjpcbhemlocgigb?hl=en Enjoy

The open source code is here: https://github.com/kzahel/web-server-chrome I loaded it, it works. I was also able to load local content using a SoloLearn web app (iframe src=http://127.0.0.1:8887/index.html .... img src=...); so, that's cute and certainly would let someone practice the webserver idea. [meta] I did some basic security checks and (without having looked tooo deeply) it seems to avoid accidentally sharing the whole file system (so that's nice too).

Thanks Kirk, I'm a Chrome OS user so good to get feedback on a regular OS user. Can you confirm what OS you were using
