[New-bugs-announce] [issue24902] http.server: on startup, show host/port as URL

[Felix Kaiser]

New submission from Felix Kaiser:

http.server: on startup, show host/port as URL

Old:

% python3 -m http.server
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...

New:

% ./python -m http.server  
Serving http://0.0.0.0:8000/ ...

This is useful because (modern) terminals will auto-detect URLs and make them clickable, so printing an URL makes it easier to navigate the browser there.
