              sion>'.

              Use an index name other than "index.html"

       --https <port>
              Port to listen on for Secure HTTP.

       -c, --certificate <filename>
              SSL certificate to use for HTTPS. [default: server.pem]

       -k, --privkey <filename>

              --path)

              Sets the root as a resource script. This script will be re-eval-
              uated on every request.

       This creates a web.tap file that can be used by twistd. If you  specify
       no  arguments, it will be a demo webserver that has the Test class from
       twisted.web.test in it.

toc options

              <port> is a number representing which port you want to start the
