Use 200.html as a fallback before 404.html #190

Hey, just now seeing this. Will try to review in the next few days. |
| else { | ||
| // Try ./200.html before falling back to ./404.html | ||
| middleware({ | ||
| url: '/' + path.join(baseDir, '200.' + defaultExt), |
| statusCode: 404 | ||
| }, res, next); | ||
| } | ||

This check seems brittle and awkward, and I don't think anyone else does it. Do you see a way around it? I don't, least not without a bigger refactor of ecstatic around passing state (which I want to do, but is kind of a whole thing).
I'll have to think about this.

It's mildly surprising that this isn't opt-in behavior, but 200.html wasn't used for anything else prior, right? So this is a breaking change, but that seems fine.

So, uh, yeah! Github's new review feature is okay. |

| // Try to serve default ./404.html | ||

| // If we're not handling errors/fallbacks, bail out now |

...is this a bug? I'll have to look more closely, but I think maybe handleError: false should have us be calling next directly.

Last thought: Is this testable? |
|
I lied: Do you think this PR solves a similar problem as #146 ? |
|
@jfhbrook it solves similar problem for me in a less flexible way. In my case, I'd love to be able to give custom fallback page, and not rely on convention 200/404.html pages |
|
I wouldn't have expected any special 200/404 file behaviour either, as the README doesn't mention it. |

Feel free to PR some clarifying docs @mk-pmb |
This is a convention I think makes a lot of sense for single page applications, when a URL doesn't match anything.
/200.htmland serve that with status404/404.htmland serve that with status404404This was introduced by harp (I think) and is used by surge.sh and it seems to be really straightforward to use.
I've made it so that if you set the config of
handleErrortofalsethen this doesn't look for200.htmleither, just to keep compatibility with other clients.
