file_server.ts is not setting the correct content-type header when serving index.html

[agusbena]

When file_server.ts is serving the index.html, the browser is not rendering the page because it is receiving text/plain header for the content-type.

see #3423 (comment)
In fact, we should set the content-type according to extname, but this will cause inconvenience to browse .ts files. In previous versions, some files were downloaded directly instead of displaying the content on the browser, so this was temporarily set to plain.
IMO, we can browse files in a way similar to deno_website2

Thanks @zhmushan for the clarification!

So is there a basic webserver for Deno anywhere? like http_server from node? i google but didn't found anything.
If there isn't any yet, whould you agree if I upgrade file_server.ts to have a mode like Node's http_server or what you would do?
I do really want so bad to use Deno for the project i am doing, loving it very much so far.
Thank you very much!

Ideally, html files should be rendered instead of displaying the code directly.

But we will face this issue, if we use the http-server mode directly:
Most deno developers often need to browse typescript files, but .ts extname has been defined as a video file.

Because of the name of file_server, I prefer to use it as a file explorer on default mode, and the http-server mode can be enabled by configuration. And we still need to listen to other developers' suggestions.

Fair enough, I agree. So probably we could provide a dedicated web server script like Node's http_server?
Hopefully anybody that thought about it can leave their comments here.
Thank you!
