[issue47063] SimpleHTTPRequestHandler has hard coded index page list.

[Ethan Furman]

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.

[issue47063] SimpleHTTPRequestHandler has hard coded index page list.

[Myron Walker]

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.  There is alot of code in send_head so 
overriding it is not optimal just to have a custom indexer filename.
