nginx and lighttpd are often used for this purpose although you could technically use any web server.

In general, the web server you decide to use should be as lightweight as possible and support sendfile(2) and the more advanced event handling you OS provides (e. g. epoll on Linux, kqueue on FreeBSD, etc.).

nginx may be the best choice, as it looks like it does the best job serving static content, very light weight, extremely low mem footprint..!
