index.html not showing as default page
<p>I have created an <strong>empty</strong> Web Application in  .NET Core, in <code>wwwroot</code> I have the <strong>index.html</strong> which is not loading as default page, it loads only when I call it explicitly.</p>

<p>Here is my project.json</p>

<pre><code>{
  "version": "1.0.0-*",
  "compilationOptions": {
    "emitEntryPoint": true
  },

  "dependencies": {
    "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel": "1.0.0-rc1-final",
    "Microsoft.AspNet.StaticFiles": "1.0.0-rc1-final"
  },

  "commands": {
    "web": "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel"
  },

  "frameworks": {
    "dnxcore50": { }
  },

  "exclude": [
    "wwwroot",
    "node_modules"
  ],
  "publishExclude": [
    "**.user",
    "**.vspscc"
  ]
}
</code></pre>

<p>Here my Startup:</p>

<pre><code>public class Startup
{
    // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
    // For more information on how to configure your application, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=398940
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
    }

    // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
    {
        app.UseStaticFiles();
    }

    // Entry point for the application.
    public static void Main(string[] args) =&gt; WebApplication.Run&lt;Startup&gt;(args);
}
</code></pre>
