Package Exports
- gulp-webserver
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (gulp-webserver) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

FAQ
Why can't I reach the server from the network?
Solution: Set 0.0.0.0 as host option.
How can I use html5Mode for my single page app with this plugin?
Solution: Set the index.html of your application as fallback option. For example:
