Bug

What is the current behavior?
Trailing slashes on some route name makes dev server serve static files along with the given route name.

No trailing slash

With trailing slash

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

I am simply just using React Router along with webpack-dev-server with historyApiFallback turned on and was trying to make a component route have a dynamic url name path which I could not make a GET request onto because of the aforementioned issue. My webpack config and a snippet of my package.json

What is the expected behavior?
Trailing slash on dev server should not serve the static files with a prepended route name

Please mention your webpack and Operating System version.
Webpack: v3.5.6
OS: Ubuntu 16.04LTS

@shellscape Hello! Sorry for replying just now, I've actually forgotten about this issue and have actually moved on from this after a week or so of publishing this issue. Uhm, I don't really have that much info to give and don't know what info to give even to help with the issue, so I think I'd be okay with it being closed. Thanks for trying to help though @fumblehool!

I believe I was having this problem. It was solved by adding publicPath: '/' to the output configuration.
