Localhost throwing invalid response after running http-server for Angular PWA

Question

I have installed PWA to my Angular application by ng add @angular/pwa and followed the all necessary steps.

To run PWA locally I have installed http-server globally by npm i -g http-server

After building production by ng build --prod, I ran http-server -o from dist folder but localhost is not working and throwing invalid response.

I have tried with different ports by http-server -p 5000 but it's not working.

This page isn’t working 127.0.0.1 sent an invalid response. ERR_INVALID_REDIRECT This is the error — Siva Kumar S, Jun 04 '19 at 06:58

We need to execute "http-server -o" command from dist/ and not from dist.

Downgrading to http-server 0.9.0 fixed it for me.

npm install -g http-server@0.9.0
