Simple web page sharing

I had an idea, as I saw this in Linux quite some time ago, and I think it could be implemented in TC, maybe as plugin, maybe as internal function.

The idea is to have internal button which would 'share' some folder by simply creating ordinary web page with foldername as root, and when clicked on it, it would show folder contents.
Sharing another folder would just simply add it to the list in web page, and it would look something like this:

TC WEB SHARE
Folder1
Folder2

It could be accessible on standard http port if nothing else is started, or configurable port if there is some web server online.

It would require some simple http server in background, of course.

TC for Android (WiFi plugin) and Windows Phone already do this. I think that it is too risky for Windows, you may unintentionally share important system files etc. this way.

You could intentionally disable sharing from Windows and Program Files folders, and enable everything else. Also, made accessible ONLY from local subnet by default. And lastly, no access without username and password.
