Summary: BaseHTTPServer to take host from cmdline?

Initial Comment:
BaseHTTPServer.py can be run from the command line, in
which case it takes its port from the command line but
it assumes the hostname is empty.  My grasp of these
things is poor, but  my understanding is that empty
hostname implies not externally visible.  Shouldn't it
be possible to supply the hostname on the command line
too (even if the above belief is incorrect)?

Calling BaseHTTPServer directly only calls a test() method,
which means that this is not intended for serious use. For
that you should create your own server instance.

If you feel otherwise, you can reopen this.
