[issue46736] Generate HTML 5 with SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.list_directory

[Dominic Davis-Foster]

New submission from Dominic Davis-Foster :

Currently SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.list_directory (which is used with `python3 
-m http.server` amongst other things) generates HTML with the doctype:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>

i.e. HTML 4.01.


I propose making the generated page HTML 5 instead. The only necessary change 
is in the doctype; the rest of the page is valid already. HTML 5 has been 
supported by Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera since 2013, and Edge since 2015 
so there shouldn't be any issues with browser compatibility.

The generated page has been HTML 4.01 since https://bugs.python.org/issue13295 
in 2011, where it was originally proposed to switch to HTML 5.


Switching to HTML 5 would also allow http.server to be used to serve a simple 
index for pip that's compliant with PEP 503.

There's some discussion in https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/10825
