Description
Just for convenience, making it possible to just reverse proxy an entire (sub)domain directly to vindex, without having to configure separate paths for an index.html, favicon, robots.txt, etc, or having to configure forwards for /vindex/, /outputlog/ and possibly /inputlog/. An http handler could be registered when a cli flag is present that references a directory with the files to serve.

Research direction
Start by locating the CLI flag definitions and the HTTP handler registration in vindex. Trace how existing routes such as /vindex/, /outputlog/, and /inputlog/ are served, then verify that an optional directory flag serves static files at the HTTP root without disrupting those routes.
