Disable index files with SimpleHTTPServer

Question

By default, SimpleHTTPServer uses index.html as a index file, I would like to disable them and always show a directory index.

How can I do that? The document here says nothing about it

Answer 1

I should be overwriting the send_head method

Simply disable the following lines

        for index in "index.html", "index.htm":
            index = os.path.join(path, index)
            if os.path.exists(index):
                path = index
                break
