title: Trying to load static CSS file gives 404 in Vue JS app
body: <p>I am working on a Vue JS app (version 2.5.17) using the webpack-simple project time, and I am trying to load a static css file in my main App component.</p>
  
  <p>I have the file in:</p>
  
  <pre><code>src/static/reset.css
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then in my main app component template:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/reset.css"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am serving using <code>npm run dev</code></p>
  
  <p>However the CSS file returns a 404 error, and I can confirm by trying to access: <code>http://localhost:8080/static/reset.css</code></p>
  
  <p>My directory structure:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:.
