Copy link

To reproduce

echo '<!doctype html><html><head><meta charset="utf-8"><title>Test</title></head><body>Hello world</body></html>' > test.html
ln -s test.html test
http-server

Then go to http://localhost:8080/test

Expected behaviour

Server resolves target (realpath?) then prepares HTTP response based on target file

Content-Type: text/html

Observed behaviour

Server does not resolve target, causing incorrect HTTP response

Content-Type: application/octet-stream; charset=utf-8

This is an issue in node-ecstatic, not http-server, see discussion in jfhbrook/node-ecstatic#168
