You can make a Web server on your router providing that you rewrite its firmware with a free DD-WRT, Tomato, etc.

You can also run a on a raspberry pi, given that you can run a Web server on any device provided it runs a Linux. Can I run a Web server on an Android device, and if yes, how can I set it up?

Absolutely!

You can either download a ready made one - like kWS - Android Web Server or write your own - here's some code to integrate in to your project or just use as is

The book Pro Android Python with SL4A comes with some free downloadable source code, you can find it on that official site. In the source code samples there are examples of basic httpserver, and basic ftpserver. Both of those will work on Android devices, I imagine it is also possible to make a more advanced webserver using python, or perhaps even re-purpose one that is already in existence.

Is python default in Android ? – Eduard Florinescu Oct 25 '12 at 8:20

@EduardFlorinescu To my knowledge it does not come pre-installed on any devices currently. It can be installed via SL4A, or its own standalone apk installer. – FoamyGuy Oct 25 '12 at 19:32
