You may want to warn people that if they run those commands in their home 
directory, they will instantly share all of their data with anyone that can 
access the machine. Because the server runs as the user, it will have 
permission to serve all of the files in the directory. I'd recommend that 
they cd into a directory created specifically for the purpose of testing.

Does anyone know how to use SimpleHTTPServer to:

1. Support virtual hosts?

2. Support SSL?

I'd like to use SimpleHTTPServer to create some simple reporting utilities, 
but can't get past these two points. Is there a NotSoSimpleHTTPServer?
