Task:  implement a rudimentary HTTP server in Python.  It needs to support the
GET method to serve static HTML files.  Requests to ``/`` shall be
automatically resolved to ``/index.html``.  All invalid requests shall be
answered with a ``400 Bad Request``.  Queries on a non-existing file shall
terminate in a ``404 Not Found``.  The serving port shall be passed through the
command line.  The server must be threaded.  Use the socket APIs.

This implementation is *just a single Python expression,* and only 512 bytes.
