Is it possible to serve not a index of a directory but rather an html file using Python SimpleHTTPServer on path '/'?
Having directory with one file login.html serves a directory index on path '/'.
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 7800
I want a content of login.html on '/'.
Is that possible?
On
By default http server looks for index.html file and loads it. Otherwise it will serve the directory structure.
You can extend SimpleHTTPServer and write your own class with proper routing. I would prefer this.
But alternatively you could also add a redirect in index.html.
<html>
<body>
<!-- redirect on load -->
<script>
window.onload = function () {
window.location.href = "login.html";
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
SimpleHTTPServer(orhttp.serverin Python3) will serve a directory unless that directory contains a file calledindex.html, in which case it will serve that instead.So just rename
login.htmltoindex.htmland it should do what you want.
