I need to debug a XML-RPC application, which sends XML replies over HTTP. I have a sample XML reply (i.e. data from the server, sent to the client that isn't working), I'd like to debug my application. Ideally I'd like a simple HTTP server that will serve one file in reply to all requests. Someone requests `/`? Send them this file. Someone makes a post to `/server/page.php` with a certain cookie? Just send them this file. I don't care about multithreading, or security. I will only need to use this for a few hours to debug. I have root on the machine.

i.e. I'm hoping there's something as easy to use as this:

```
simple_http_server -p 12445 -f my_test_file

```

I'm aware of python's `SimpleHTTPServer` module, but I'm not sure how to make it work in this case.
