[issue47063] SimpleHTTPRequestHandler has hard coded index page list.

Ethan Furman added the comment: `index.htm[l]` is pretty standard for the name of the index page. What's your use-case for wanting different names? Keep in mind that the word `Simple` is in the name for a reason. -- nosy: +ethan.furman versions: +Python 3.11 -Python 3.8

[issue47063] SimpleHTTPRequestHandler has hard coded index page list.

New submission from Myron Walker : 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.
