web options

-u, --user

Makes a server with ~/public_html and ~/.twistd-web-pb support for users.

--personal

Instead of generating a webserver, generate a ResourcePublisher which listens on ~/.twistd-web-pb

--path <path>

<path> is either a specific file or a directory to be set as the root of the web server. Use this if you have a directory full of HTML, cgi, php3, epy, or rpy files or any other files that you want to be served up raw.

-p, --port <port>

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

-m, --mime_type <mimetype>

<mimetype> is the default MIME type to use for files in a --path web server when none can be determined for a particular extension. The default is 'text/html'.

--allow_ignore_ext

Specify whether or not a request for 'foo' should return 'foo.ext'. Default is off.

--ignore-ext .<extension>

Specify that a request for 'foo' should return 'foo.<extension>'.
