Not exactly a replacement

Nice project, I'm just not sure the current description is really the best for it. Because that's true I sometimes use "python3 -m http.server" to download files from another PC but more than half of my recent usages are for quickly serving my hugo powered blog static files.

I tried with updog to serve a folder including an index.html file but by default it's always showing listing view, and if "View in Browser" button is rendering correctly the HTML, click a link is showing again the default view. That's not really what I'm expecting from a SimpleHTTPServer replacement.

Also another quick feedback: have to provide -d for overriding default folder is annoying, better promote it as an optional positional argument.
