Open browser with URL

See original GitHub issue

The -o option is really handy, but unless I’m missing something I can’t ask for anything other than the root to be opened? It’d be handy if we could specific a relative path, e.g.

http-server -o /pages/index.html

Opens browser with http://localhost:8080/pages/index.html

I don’t understand what the path part of -o [path] was supposed to do it if did not behave this way. At least one of the four combinations above should be working. I find that (at least on my Linux installation) that it only launches the browser (at all) if I do not specify the path after -o at all.

Any progress on this issue? I’d love to specify a location and a file, or have the root location be implicit in the file, e.g.: http-server site1 -o test1.html or http-server -o site1/test1.html
