Issue description

Trying to add proxy to command line fails. Throws:

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:80
   at Object._errnoException (util.js:1024:11)
   at _exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1046:20)
   at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1182:14)

Would like to do something like --proxy=:.html also but can't figure out how to do that.

Software details

• Command line used for launching live-server: live-server --port=8999 --no-browser --proxy=/who-we-are:/who-we-are.html

• OS: OSX

• Browser (if browser related): Chrome

• Node.js version: v8.9.1

• live-server version: 1.2.0

Edit: also is there a way to support ejs or some other templating tool?
