SimpleHTTPServer is meant to be used for development and testing. It should not be used for anything remotely serious for security and speed reasons. Instead, you should use a real web server, such as nginx or apache. Those will do the first two properly, and the last one could be handled by a simple-ish PHP script. Or a full-fledged app in Django or Flask if you feel like it. -- Chris Warrick <https://chriswarrick.com/> PGP: 5EAAEA16 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
