SimpleHTTPRequestHandler has hard coded index page list in the send_head method. The fixed hard-coded list means that if you want to have a custom index page that is not named "index.htm" or "index.html" then you have to override the send_head method. There is alot of code in send_head so overriding it is not optimal just to have a custom indexer filename.
