What?

This is a Python 3 HTTP/1.1 server bound to 127.0.0.1 on port 8000 using only the standard library.

Why?

I wanted a simple Python 3 web server using HTTP 1.1 that can perform simple HTTP operations and depends only on Python and standard library modules. I couldn't find an example so I made one.

The example demonstrates how to accept different methods, parse the url and query strings, read data sent to the server, parse and return json, return responses with different status codes and headers, handle graceful termination, and override the default error logging.

	import os
	import SimpleHTTPServer
	from SimpleHTTPServer import SimpleHTTPRequestHandler

	class RangeHTTPRequestHandler(SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
	"""RangeHTTPRequestHandler is a SimpleHTTPRequestHandler
	with HTTP 'Range' support"""

	def send_head(self):
	"""Common code for GET and HEAD commands.
