Http-server: Use urlRewrite technique to redirect index.html to support html5 mode
When html5 mode is on, refresh causes the web server to seek for the given folder,
To support this right we need a feature to always perform url rewrite to index.html (or some other page) automatically.
Something like:
-u foo.html where default of -u is index.html
Thanks

Came here to say the same thing. Allowing an easy way to specify a catch-all file for single page apps would be excellent :)

This is so necessary for using in combo with Angular!

:+1: @connor4312 having this same problem. Need it for testing and developing AngularJS SPA's, but can't because HTML5 mode fails.

http-server is heavily dependent on ecstatic module and imo this is the right place to add this functionality in first place (then add support for this in http-server). Right now my current solution is duplicate the index.html and name it 404.html...isn't the best, but works.
