public folder does not work as advertised

When having just the ./public folder the default behaviour is serving an empty page. So I changed the text accordingly.

I rather had the API pages still intact and it would be great that get access to it even after creating a ./public/index.

Hmmm ... my conclusion was wrong. Curl reports 404 Not found but the body contains {} maybe the right respons?

curl -vvvv http://localhost:3000/ * Trying ::1... * connect to ::1 port 3000 failed: Connection refused * Trying 127.0.0.1... * Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 3000 (#0) > GET / HTTP/1.1 > Host: localhost:3000 > User-Agent: curl/7.43.0 > Accept: */* > < HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found < X-Powered-By: Express < Vary: Origin, Accept-Encoding < Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true < Cache-Control: no-cache < Pragma: no-cache < Expires: -1 < X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff < Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 < Content-Length: 2 < ETag: W/"2-mZFLkyvTelC5g8XnyQrpOw" < Date: Sun, 07 Feb 2016 11:58:23 GMT < Connection: keep-alive < * Connection #0 to host localhost left intact {}%

This now seems to me as when creating a public folder you must add an index.html with it.
