Description

When serving the console from a router with a listener that has http: true, files with extensions of .json and .woff2 fail to load.

To reproduce:

• setup a router with an http listener (ie. on port 5673)
• load the console from a browser using that port (localhost:5673/)
• attempt to load the file localhost:5673/plugin/data/world-110m.json

What you get:
a 404 page
What you should get:
the contents of the file

Just to verify:

• copy a .js file to the plugin/data/ directory where the console is installed
• attempt to load localhost:5673/plugin/data/name_of_js_file.js
• you should see the .js file in the browser. It's just .json and .woff2 files that won't load

• also to verify: if you load the console from an apache web server, the plugin/data/world-110m.json loads just fine.

The .woff2 files are fonts. You can see that they fail to load in the browser's debugging console -> Network tab.
