I'd be completely fine with dropping the "Search For" box from the
GUI interface, but the persistent window listing the served port
and providing "Open Browser" and "Quit Serving" buttons still seems
quite useful even without the search box (When running "python -m
pydoc -p 8080&", it took me a moment to figure out how to kill the
server I had started).
Why not simply have "Quit Serving" next to the search button in the
served pages? The server can even serve a friendly page explaining how
it can be restarted before quitting. ..
Another way to communicate to the server would be to add a link in
the browser to open a server status page. For example my router has a
configure page where I can check it's status and do other things.
That might be something worth exploring at some later date.
This would work as well, but for starters, I think "Search" and "Quit"
buttons next to each other will be most familiar to the users of the
current Tk-based control window.
Nick, what do you think about the "Quit" link in the browser along with
improving the server startup message on the console window?
