serving static files: set a default filename extension

[fghhfg]

How do I serve webpage without extension (.html)?
Or it just a bad idea without .html on my static website?

It also doesn't work on http-server of npm, let's why I'm here...

default extensions are not currently supported but I will fix that very soon.

I will add a new option (probably --static.extensions) that will enable you to specify a default filename extension, for example:

$ ws --static.extensions html

With this option set, if you supply a URL like /page it will look for both page and page.html on disk, serving the latter.

I'll let you know once this is fixed.

I have fixed this and released a prerelease. Could you test it works for you?

Install the prerelease.

$ npm install -g local-web-server@next

Run ws with a default filename extension of html.

ws --static.extensions html

Let me know how it goes.
