secure as hell too when you are just serving html files.

I'm sorry to inform you that line twelve of that html has a script tag. Here's the kicker: it's google analytics.
I'm not sure that 1996-era HTTP server software was "secure as hell" even if serving static content. Browsers certainly were not.
Super secure, except the information leakage:

    <META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="Microsoft Word 97">
    ...
    <META NAME="Template" CONTENT="C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE\html.dot">
(Okay, probably not much use now but when this was published, that could maybe have been used to target macro attacks)
but no https
