Proposal: serveStatic should support extensionless file requests

[kentasaito]

What is the feature you are proposing?

For my use case, I would like to achieve the following behavior when serving static files:

GET /config → serve /static/config

Not /static/config/index.html but a file named config without extension.

Currently it seems like serveStatic always tries to find the index file in the directory.

I would like to suggest a mode that prefers exact path match.

This would be useful when using static files that intentionally have no extension (e.g. compiled WASM glue, config binaries, etc.).

Thanks!

I think this is a good suggestion. I'll work on the serve-static things later. We can add this feature then.
