http.server (SimpleHTTPServer) serve file.html instead of dir (using cmd)

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?

Solution

  • SimpleHTTPServer (or http.server in Python3) will serve a directory unless that directory contains a file called index.html, in which case it will serve that instead.

    So just rename login.html to index.html and it should do what you want.
