server is useless with default config

[ciupicri]

Description

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but I was under the impression that software can be used as a local test server, not just a web page with a list of other test servers.

Server

1.1.5 with no custom settings

Client

firefox-116.0-2.fc38.x86_64

Steps to reproduce

• Download speedtest-go_1.1.5_linux_amd64.tar.gz
• Unarchive file, e.g. tar xzf speedtest-go_1.1.5_linux_amd64.tar.gz
• Run ./speedtest-backend
• Go to http://127.0.0.1:8989/

Expected behaviour

A web based test using this server

Screenshots

LibreSpeed Example

No servers available

did you find the correct settings?

If you open the client browser and select any of the other "files" ... like http://:8989/example-singleServer-chart.html then it works. I noticed there is a commit that replaced the index.html for a "good one" but its not in release 1.1.5 but newere. Could we get a newere build?

I've just cloned the repository (commit 7001fa4fa52945cbc6d4c32200bbcce7bbf6145c), compiled the project with go build -ldflags "-w -s" -trimpath -o speedtest main.go then I run ./speedtest.

Next I've started a browser (Firefox) and voilà, it seems I was able to run a local test at address http://127.0.0.1:8989/
