I'd venture a question of the OP: what makes you so against running an HTTPd on your machine? They don't all have to be heavy duty or burdensome. Look up Tiny-HTTP or similar lightweight, yet sturdy web server options.
Running HTTP server will require lots of permission.. hence not using HTTP.
However isn't it funny that through html page residing in unix machine, I cannot directly execute shell script in same unix machine? I feel there would be a way.

http::proxy::engine::legacy
HTTP::Proxy::Engine::Legacy(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation HTTP::Proxy::Engine::Legacy(3pm)
NAME
HTTP::Proxy::Engine::Legacy - The "older" HTTP::Proxy engine
SYNOPSIS
my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new( engine => 'Legacy' );
DESCRIPTION
This engine reproduces the older child creation algorithm of HTTP::Proxy.
Angelos Karageorgiou "<angelos@unix.gr>" reports:
I got the Legacy engine to work really fast under "Win32" with the following trick:
max_keep_alive_requests(1);
max_clients(120);
$HTTP::VERSION(1.0); # just in case
and it smokes.
It seems that forked children are really slow when calling select for handling "keep-alive"d requests!
METHODS
The module defines the following methods, used by HTTP::Proxy main loop:
start()
Initialise the engine.
run()
Implements the forking logic: a new process is forked for each new incoming TCP connection.
stop()
Reap remaining child processes.
The following method is used by the engine internally:
reap_zombies()
Process the dead child processes.
