Combining AngularJS, HTML5 locations and superstatic

Question

I've been using the nodejs http-server to serve up my Angular app, but it doesn't work well with HTML5 locations, because using them requires the server to redirect, and http-server doesn't do that. So I saw a recommendation to try superstatic, and installed it. Then I set up the following superstatic.json file:

{
  "routes": {
    "Admin/**":"/index.html",
    "Give/**":"/index.html",
    "Pending/**":"/index.html",
    "Store/**":"/index.html"
  }
}

I launched it with

superstatic --config superstatic.json

While it correctly serves up my app if I start at "/", reloads load the index.html file, but do not do any of the angular processing of the file.

Has anyone successfully used superstatic with angular?

I got mine perfectly working by setting my superstatic.json like this:

{
  "rewrites": [
    {"source":"/**","destination":"/index.html"}
  ]
}

Then run it with

superstatic --config superstatic.json
