SimpleHTTPRequestHandler(request, client_address, server, *, directory=None, extra_response_headers=None)

Simple HTTP request handler with GET and HEAD commands.

This serves files from the current directory and any of its
subdirectories.  The MIME type for files is determined by
calling the .guess_type() method.

The GET and HEAD requests are identical except that the HEAD
request omits the actual contents of the file.

Changed in 3.7, 3.9, 3.15

3.7: Added the directory parameter.
3.9: The directory parameter accepts a path-like object.
3.15: Added extra_response_headers parameter.
