{"message":"You are not authorized"} in GitHub Codespace about http-server HOT 2 CLOSED

For me it works with empty codespace (which by default has Node 20 -- not sure if that could be different to Node 18).

Navigate to http://localhost:8080/ in browser and see files

Note that the URL in browser address bar needs to be something like https://foo-bar-baz-8080.app.github.dev/ -- if you actually try to open localhost in your browser it won't work.

Also: when you're running http-server in terminal, you should see a log of all the URLs that were served -- does it produce any output when you try to open the codespace URL in a browser?

@zbynek well that's embarrassing, I also cannot repro in an empty Codespace, because:

I just realized there's already a different web-server running on 8080 on my other Codespace,
but weirdly I didn't get a Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use 0.0.0.0:8080 when trying to start http-server 🤔

The other server is defined via dockerComposeFile in the devcontainer.json. I'll do some more digging, but probably safe to say not a http-server issue...
