Can I set a header with python’s SimpleHTTPServer?

This is a bit of a hack because it changes end_headers() behavior, but I think it’s slightly better than copying and pasting the entire SimpleHTTPServer.py file.

Then use the node package manager (npm) to install the package, using the -g option to install … Read more
