【HeadFirst】第七章：web开发[本地localhost访问][自动访问index.html]

在浏览器中输入：http://localhost:8080

而不是https://localhost:8080，会出现报错

启动simple_httpd.py，访问上述网址，为什么会自动访问到index.html？而不是其他py文件？

from http.server import HTTPServer, CGIHTTPRequestHandler

port = 8080

httpd = HTTPServer(('', port), CGIHTTPRequestHandler)
print("Starting simple_httpd on port: " + str(httpd.server_port))
httpd.serve_forever()
