angularjs - Remove index.html from URL. Works when served from other server -

i'm hoping kind enough , able me:

i have $location.html5mode(true) & $locationprovider.hashprefix() both set , when run simple web server app's dist folder index.html removed url.

but when serve web-app container http://localhost:8080/ui/index.html

i've tried setting various settings in jetty.xml, wab's web.xml, etc, no affect.

i'm little light in specifics our configuration quite complex. however, suggestions appreciated.

thanks,
