"""Smarter HTTP Server.
This module builds on SimpleHTTPServer, adding 'methlet' invokation by
handling urls with a file extension of .methlet. In this instance, the
so-called filename actually names a method on the handler, which is invoked
with a single parameter, a dictionary of the url's parsed query string.
This class is intended to be subclassed, with subclasses adding the
appropriate methlet methods for the application being served.
