[New-bugs-announce] [issue47063] SimpleHTTPRequestHandler has hard coded index page list.

[Myron Walker]

New submission from Myron Walker <myron.walker at gmail.com>:

SimpleHTTPRequestHandler has hard coded index page list in the send_head method.  The fixed hard-coded list means that if you want to have a custom index page that is not named "index.htm" or "index.html" then you have to override the send_head method.  There is alot of code in send_head so overriding it is not optimal just to have a custom indexer filename.
