pushstate-server

Static file server that works with HTML5 Pushstate.

Defaults all routes to index.html in the directory set by setDirectory(). Treats the following file extensions as static files (non routeables):

• html
• js
• json
• csv
• css
• less
• png
• svg
• eot
• ttf
• woff
• appcache
• jpg
• jpeg
• gif
• ico

For example, the route /some/pushstate/route will return the index.html file. But, /some/static/path/logo.png will return the logo.png static file.
