I came across the same problem at 0.10.1.

If posible, I hope "-o chrome" command can be supported to open chrome.

Note that you can manually open the page using open -a Chrome 'http://localhost:8080/'.

@derhuerst Thx for your advice, but I think the correct command is open -a 'Google Chrome' 'http://localhost:8080/' .

@imzhengfei Whatever your Chrome .app bundle contains as identifier, yes. It works with any .app macOS is aware of.

I was hoping to use http-server as part of a test. However, because of this bug I can't setup a package.json test to work properly:

"scripts": {
    "build": "gulp",
    "test": "http-server ./test -o"
}

I want that to open my test files for me automatically for some mocha tests But on my default browser Safari the url is broken :-(
It works fine if I change my default browser to Firefox or Chrome. However, I do need to run the tests for Safari. Yeah, I could manually open them in Safari. The whole point is that this bug breaks the ability to run automated tests with Safari.

Appears to be working fine in 0.11.1

@ainthek are you still seeing this problem on the latest version?
