I know this doesn't address your CD-ROM/USB stick situation but FYI...

for the dev situation there are many *SUPER* simple web servers

https://github.com/cortesi/devd/

https://github.com/indexzero/http-server/

https://docs.python.org/2/library/simplehttpserver.html (not recommended,
haven't tried the python 3 one)

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-server-for-chrome/ofhbbkphhbklhfoeikjpcbhemlocgigb?hl=en
 (soon to be deprecated)
