Aspnet core 1.0.0-preview2-003121 and wwwroot

Question

I just updated my VS.Net 2015 to Update3 and installed the latest asp.net core preview.

I created a simple, empty website and added my controller, just to play.

Then, I created a simple html file with javascript to consume the json the aforementioned controller serves. I put this html page in the wwwroot folder (as I always did so far, RC1 style).

When I hit "dotnet run", and the console confirms the project is running, if I open in my browser

http://localhost:5000

the page is blank. No html at all. But, if I use

http://localhost:5000/index.html everything is ok, I can see my page that consume the controller's json.

How to restore the default wwwroot documents and files?

P.s.: I already imported "Microsoft.AspNetCore.StaticFiles" and put "app.UseStaticFile()" on startup.cs.

Thank you in advance! Valerio

Use app.UseDefaultFiles() before app.UseStaticFiles()
