SimpleHTTP404Server: Easy testing of 404.html
=============================================

*SimpleHTTP404Server* allows easy testing of static HTML providers that allow
404 response customization via a 404.html page. This includes at least GitHub_
and FastMail_. It is a simple extension to SimpleHTTPServer_, a built-in Python
module which servers the current directory over HTTP.

If you server a static site using `GitHub Pages`_ or another static website
provider, this module can help you test your 404 page before pushing changes to
a live website.

First install the package using pip:

.. code-block:: bash

    pip install SimpleHTTP404Server

Browse to the directory, and run the following to server it on port 8000.

.. code-block:: bash

    python -m SimpleHTTP404Server

Or, if you'd like to specify a different port:

.. code-block:: bash

    python -m SimpleHTTP404Server 1234

And that's it! Now browse to a page that exists, maybe
http://localhost:8000/index.html. And check that your 404.html page is properly
loaded by checking a few different paths:
* http://localhost:8000/404.html
* http://localhost:8000/does-not-exist.html
* http://localhost:8000/does/not/exist.html

Usecases
========

Personally this is used to test any GitHub Pages sites I use, in particular my
blog_, which is build on Pelican_. This is done via Fabric_:

.. code-block:: python

    @task
    def serve():
        """Locally serve the blog."""
        local('cd {deploy_path} && python -m SimpleHTTP404Server {listen_port}'.format(**env))

Future
======

Please let me know (by filing issues or pull requests) if you find any bugs or
if you feel there are features missing.

v0.2.0: May 13, 2015
====================

* Switch back to a simple way of getting the 404.html page. The complicated way
  seems to imply it fixed server 404 pages from non-root directories...but it
  doesn't, ensure your paths are absolute.

v0.1.2: May 13, 2015
====================

* Package readme, changelog.

v0.1.1: May 13, 2015
====================

* Supports packaged version uploaded to pypi.

v0.1.0: Feb. 24, 2015
=====================

* Initial version, supports loading 404.html page from any subdirectory.
