What's the best way to test server stuff?

I'm working on a very basic project in html and javascript, but it requires sending information from a file to a server to be used in another file. Creating .html files and working on them in a folder is easy peasy, but what do I do if I want to just practise the most basics of server stuff?
Is there a way of just connecting to like 127.0.0.1\filelocation\file or something?
(I do not need to access these things from outside of the local network)

Sure! Just run a webserver on your computer.

You can run Apache for instance and then connect to localhost like you said.

Yes, it's real—just run a local webserver (Apache, Python http.server, Node, etc.) and access it via localhost or 127.0.0.1.
