I find that when an html file is saved without a file extension, http-server serves it with application/octet-stream, even if I set --ext html in the cli options (anyway, html is the default).

Seen on Mac Yosemite; Node v2.0.2

So this has been here since 2015? Hmm... wonder if it's a browser caching thing... I'll have a look on this.

A quick fix would simply be reordering this code and handling the html default extension by also setting text/html as the default media type:
https://github.com/indexzero/http-server/blob/fed98f2dbb87f1ea7a793e48a1975c20c9e970fa/lib/http-server.js#L50-L56

Anyone up for doing that? 😸
