    What is SimpleHTTPServer?

    A simple application that serves the current directory over HTTP. It provides a quick way to share files or preview web content during development. The program listens on the local network, allowing access from other devices on the same network. Users can navigate to the server's URL in a web browser to view the directory's contents and download files as needed. This utility is often used by web developers to test and preview their work without the need for a complex web server setup
