New submission from Jake <so...@kth.se>:
I would find it useful to have more options to http.server
SimpleHTTPRequestHandler:
1) The option to get the current directory in not only HTML, but represented in
JSON for example. This could be an added --json flag in the main method of
http.server, and an added corresponding method in SimpleHTTPRequestHandler much
like list_directory but for JSON.
2) Options to add more headers. For example I would find it useful to be able
to add the header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin'. This could be achieved by
send_head in SimpleHTTPRequestHandler taking more arguments for specifying any
additional headers to be added.
This way a custom class can inherit SimpleHTTPRequestHandler, and in its own
send_head method call e.g.
super().send_head(extra_headers={'Access-Control-Allow-Origin','*'}).
