Description

Most of the time web servers will look for a file named index.html, if the PATH refers to a directory. It can be useful for debugging to have the Django static file view mimic how production servers will behave. By adding a use_index_html=False parameter to the view, we can optionally enable this feature without any loss of backwards compatibility.

I've added tests and documentation in this patch.

The serve view isn't intended to pretend to be a real web server. It's deliberately crippled.
