Add fallback to index.html

See original GitHub issue

Please add fallback to index.html for every “not real” file, pretty much the same way as connect-history-api-fallback does (https://github.com/bripkens/connect-history-api-fallback#introduction):

The request is a GET request
which accepts text/html,
is not a direct file request, i.e. the requested path does not contain a . (DOT) character and
does not match provided pattern

Not sure if I am not creating a duplicate, but I haven’t found one… I only found a fork: https://github.com/riceboyler/http-server.

However I wonder why this option is not in this current project.

For people who need it:

$ npm install spa-http-server --save-dev

"test:dev": "npm run build && http-server dist -p 8080 --push-state",

Note that spa-http-server replaces http-server bin.
