I'm using SimpleHTTPServer to test some webpages I'm working on. It works great, however I need to do some cross-domain requests. That requires setting a Access-Control-Allow-Origin header with the domains the page is allowed to access. Is there an easy way to set a header with SimpleHTTPServer and serve the original content? The header would be the same on each request. berto This is a bit of a hack because it changes end_headers() behavior, but I think it's slightly better than copying and pasting the entire SimpleHTTPServer.py file. My approach overrides end_headers() in a subclass and in
