How can I display an Ascii File in a Web Browser?

I have a website. I have uploaded some .c and .py files to my website. Now, if I have a .txt file, then I can open it directly in a new tab in the browser. However, to view my .c and .py files, which are in ASCII format, I have to download them and use a local text-editor to view them. This seems impractical.

How can I view the plaintext of my .c and .py files in the browser? Is this something I can configure on the web-end, or is this an option I have to set in my browser?

If you have access of your web server (in case of apache web server) settings, Then you can do it.

Put following lines in apache2.conf (Ubuntu/Debian) / httpd.conf (Redhat/Fedora)

AddType text/plain .c
AddType text/plain .py

and restart the web server
