Examples

• By default the class will use the files under it's own directory with "index.html" as the index file.
• You can specify custom parameters to the server while creating the object by passing the respective parameters from a list of accepted parameters
• For example, to start a server with html root at D:\ServerFiles\ , you can use the docs="D:\ServerFiles" paramter to point the web root to that directory.
• Similarly, you can customize other options of the server as well (with the parameters mentioned here)

Some given example codes

•   from server import Server
    serv = Server(docs="D:\ServerFiles",port=445,hostname="mysite.domain")
    serv.startServer()

  The above code will start a new web server with website root at D:\ServerFiles, runing on port 445 with mysite.domain as hostname.

•   from server import Server
    website = Server(customExtensions=["txt"])
    website.startServer()

  The above code will start the server with .txt as a valid file extension to show to the client user agent. The extensions declared by default are: .php,.html,.htm,.xml,.js,.css. Any further extensions passed to Server will be added to this list. If you don't wanna add any custom extensions, put customExtensions=False or just omit it altogether.
