[New-bugs-announce] [issue42004] Allow uploading files with SimpleHTTPRequestHandler

[Javier Ayres]

New submission from Javier Ayres <javier at lufte.net>:

Hello. I'm a big fan of the http.server module to quickly serve some files in a local network with `python3 -m http.server`. I regularly needed to get some files from other people too, but getting everyone to install/run python3 was not such a simple task. Eventually I wrote a subclass of SimpleHTTPRequestHandler that added a form with a file input and accepted POST requests, so people could also upload files to my computer. I think this would be a fine addition to SimpleHTTPRequestHandler, so I'm attaching a potential patch that implements this and adds a new cli parameter so this feature is only enabled explicitly.
