New submission from Erik Paulson <epaul...@unit1127.com>:
In http.server and SimpleHTTPRequestHandler - the send_head function is
hard-coded to treat index.html and index.htm as files to return in a directory
- if neither of those files are present, it lists the directory.
It would be very nice to be able to specify other files to use as a directory
index, similar to the DirectoryIndex directive from Apache.
I think it'd be straight forward to add some kind of list you could set, just
like you can modify extensions_map to include other types of MIME types.
Would it be OK to just add a directory_index list with index.html and index.htm
on by default that people could do like
Handler.directory_index.append("index.htmlx") in their setup? Or would such an
API be better with some kind of helper?
