have a directory full of HTML, cgi, php3, epy, or rpy files or
any other files that you want to be served up raw.

<port> is a number representing which port you want to
start the server on.

files in a --path web server when none can be determined
for a particular extension. The default is 'text/html'.

specify no arguments, it will be a demo webserver that has the Test
class from twisted.web.test in it.
