Description:
------------
When running php -S localhost:8000, or any chosen port number, html files can't be found by the built-in web server. For instance, after creating a folder, adding an index.html file, serving the folder, and accessing it through the web browser, the following error is returned: "The requested resource /index.html was not found on this server". This doesn't happen with .php files though. Tested using PHP version 7.1.12 x64, both Thread-Safe and Non Thread-Safe.

Indeed, while `.htm` is supported, `.html` is not, although the
documentation claims support for `.html`[1].

So you request /index.html and index.html exists but you get a 404 error? or the mime type is wrong?

Please confirm/clarify and I will continue investigating.

I just did a quick check of requests for / /index.htm /index.html and they were returned and the mime-type was returned(text/html). This worked for me on 7.0 and 7.1.5.

The mime_types are registered in mime_type_map.h.

php_cli_server_request_translate_vpath() looks like it should work for both .htm and .html... it just that a request for / will return index.html or index.php but NOT index.htm (as designed).

Dear Matt,

First off, thank you for looking into this. Unfortunately, my Windows environment is gone, and I can't go back into it and test. However, I can confirm that from PHP version 7.2, on Manjaro, I haven't had this problem anymore. Also tested it on Ubuntu 16.04, no signs of the bug. By the way, I did test it by explicitly typing in the file extension back when I reported the bug. And yeah, I was getting a 404 error.

Cheers

No feedback was provided. The bug is being suspended because
we assume that you are no longer experiencing the problem.
If this is not the case and you are able to provide the
information that was requested earlier, please do so and
change the status of the bug back to "Re-Opened". Thank you.

Can't repro. RP doesn't have environment to repro. Reading the code, it seems clear this can't happen.
