I am using express with webpack-dev-middleware and webpack-hot-middleware in my development environment. I build a storage/DFS module that works in a similar way as GitHub. You paste a URL and it opens up a folder or a file. The problem now that I have is, when I paste a URL that contains a file extension at the end as in (/storage/folder1/folder2/file.py) I get 'Cannot GET /storage/folder1/folder2/file.py'.

It is a VUE app and for routing I am using vue-router. The path configured in VUE app is:

path: 'storage/*'

Using as a template for VUE app: https://admin.vuebulma.com/#/

Any suggestions on how fix this?
