Add support for a configuration file (.httpserverrc?)

[lukaszfiszer]

I use http-server to develop multiple projects on my local machine. I want each project to be launched from a different port - so that I can use Chrome DevTools' Workspaces for editing with no problems (DevTools does "per hostname" binding between remote files and local files).

Currently http-server does not allow to load configuration options from a file so I need to manually provide and remember each port for each of my projects.

My proposition is to have a .httpserverrc file (like .bowerrc or .jshintrc) which will allow to store the configuration in a JSON format.

Why not just make a bash script to load the options through the flags?

Good point, thanks! I don't know how is it possible that I haven't thought about this!

The only potential problem I see with this solution is that bash scripts are not cross-platform. But if you care about it, you could just use something like grunt to start your dev server.
