------------------------------------------

[~jeffmaury] given that cordovasim was deprecated, shouldnt we close this as WONTDO or OUTDATED?

> Currently, BrowserSim works through file: protocol but this protocol doesn't work well with paths relative to the webroot (which start with "/").
> So if a local file contains any links to local resources (css, js, ...) via relative paths then these resources are not available in BrowserSim.
> For example all official ionic example projects use such paths. It makes "open with BrowserSim" feature useless for those projects.
> It would be great if BrowserSim uses http: as our HTML5 preview does.
