Start http web server for static page on mac

Certain web static content (like open ui5 sdk) on local disk must be served from a web server, instead of directly opening from the local file system.

On Mac, once the static web content is available on a local folder, it can be simply started from a terminal.

1. First open terminal app, and navigate to the folder contains the static web content.

2. Run the below comment with the port number as the last parameter
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

3.start the browser, and visit the below url
http://localhost:8000/yourHtmlPage.html
