| http.server documentation starts with a red warning: "Warning: http.server is not recommended for production. It only implements basic security checks." https://docs.python.org/dev/library/http.server.html It would help to be even more explicit on what it means. For example, document that symbolic links are followed and SimpleHTTPRequestHandler directory can be "escaped" following symbolic links. |
