If you set the SimpleHTTPServer to serve files and visit /filename it works 
but if you visit /filename?f=1 it returns a 404. It should strip off the query 
argument and visit /filename

The patch is to add this line to the top of SimpleHTTPServer.py's translate_path 
function:
 path = path.split('?')[0]

(uses urlparse to cover (i.e. ignore) params as well)

Committed patch in revisions 42030,42031.

This fix introduces a nasty side-effect: "GET http://server//file" (with
two /s) does not work anymore. It returns the directory index instead.
This is because urlparse is not applied to an URL, but to its right-hand
part starting at the path.
urlparse.urlparse("http://server//foo")[2] correctly returns //foo, but 
urlparse.urlparse("//foo")[2] (as used in this library) returns an empty
string.
So the first proposed fix (msg27195) would be better. Or maybe this is
an urlparse issue, so that it should be able to process such a partial url.

I created the new issue 1224 for this.
