Greg,

Thanks. I already tried that and found that the binary data was messing
up the file transfer.

I think binary data can be sent, but it would require building mime
headers and encoding the data stream.  Modifying httpserver.py was much
easier.

Maybe I should suggest to the developers the ability to add multiple
static folders.
