Webpack Proxy Requests Repo

This repo is to demonstrate an issue with webpack-dev-server routing requests to routes with dots in the url.

The underlying express app simply echoes the path in the response.

1. npm install
2. npm run start
3. Navigate to localhost:8080/.abcdefg and observe that the route works fine.
4. Navigate to localhost:8081/.abcdefg (the webpack's proxy) and observe the response is an error
