Any interest in adding a --cors option to python -m http.server?

My point was that it might be hard to justify that the work to add python -m http.server --cors is worth it, but maybe it would be easy to justify that the work to add python -m http.server --header 'X-Custom-Header: MyCustomValue' is worth it.

I agree a general purpose --header option would be more useful.

Perhaps we could follow the interface of HTTPie which takes them as positional arguments using the Header:Value notation:

$ python -m http.server X-Custom-Header:MyCustomValue

Currently we have the port as positional so we’d need to look for the colon to handle these differently. On the other hand, a separate --header option would be easier to document and implement.
