Subject: gh-91219: Add an index_pages default list and parameter to SimpleHTTPRequestHandler... 
X-Git-Tag: v3.12.0a1~1142

gh-91219: Add an index_pages default list and parameter to SimpleHTTPRequestHandler (GH-31985)

* Add an index_pages default list to SimpleHTTPRequestHandler and an
optional constructor parameter that allows the default indexes pages
list to be overridden.  This makes it easy to set a new index page name
without having to override send_head.
