-s option ignore existing file

[ambroiseRabier]

Files:

1. build/index.html
2. build/subdir/index.html

With serve -s build:

• 1 work as expected. localhost:5000
• 2 is being ignored, localhost:5000/subdir and localhost:5000/subdir/index.html give 404 or redirect to root (don't remember which one).

With server build:

• 1 work as expected. localhost:5000
• 2 work as expected. localhost:5000/subdir

I would have expected localhost:5000/subdir with serve -s build to server build/subdir/index.html, and not build/index.html (or 404) (I think it was redirect).

--help show description:

-s, --single                        Rewrite all not-found requests to `index.html`

But current behavior seem to be "rewrite all requests to /index.html".

Also had this issue, it seems serve-handler by default redirect /build/subdir/index.html to /build/subdir, which is called 'cleanUrls'
The temporary solution is to disable 'cleanUrls' by adding a serve.json:

{
    "cleanUrls": false
}

shameless self-promotion alert:
this feature is fixed in my @warren-bank/serve fork of serve

@buhichan where do I place the serve.json.

Am using serve to serve dist and the serve.json doesn't seem to work. The doc says to place the serve.json in public folder but am a bit confused about the placement. Any pointers will help, thanks!
