[Feature Request] Option to append index.html to routes

[AndrewLeedham]

Some hosting environments like Chromatic don't automatically serve index.html from a folder path, e.g <base-url>/playroom/preview would just 404. I raised this issue with Chromatic and they are looking into it, but I thought it would also be useful to fix the problem here so other people can workaround it if their hosting cannot be modified.

I can see 3 paths for supporting this:

• Updating all the links to include index.html, this could be a breaking change in some cases.
• Adding an option to include index.html so it is opt-in.
• Add a previewUrl option so the index.html can be added manually.

Personally I think option 2 makes the most-sense as it is opt-in and can apply to all URLs rather than having a separate option for any new links added in the future.

I have the exact same issue with the CircleCI artifacts storage and would very much like to see this merged. Happy to help if help is needed.

@roddds Not sure there is much you can do. I have put in a PR to fix the issue, just waiting on a PR review from a maintainer. I suppose you could test the implementation in your use-case and provide any feedback there?

We're experiencing the same issue so would be great if the PR could be progressed.

If you're using Chromatic I worked with their devs and this is no-longer needed. But would still be useful for other platforms.
