[New-bugs-announce] [issue28707] add 'directory' option to the http.server module

[Stéphane Wirtel]

New submission from Stéphane Wirtel:

When we execute the http.server module, the tool will use the current directory (os.getcwd()) but sometimes we would like to specify a directory on the command line. 

With the next patch, I try to fix this missing feature ;-)

Just with python -m http.server -d /tmp

by default the system will use the current directory.
if necessary, I will show an error if the directory does not exist.
