I recently wrote sauth for this reason. It's just humanized and properly packaged version of https://github.com/tianhuil/SimpleHTTPAuthServer with python3 support.

Try it:

~$ pip install sauth
~$ cd some_dir
~/some_dir $ sauth admin 12345 
Serving "/home/user/some_dir" directory on http://0.0.0.0:8333
