Open the a browser window with the URL when run 'espresso server'

[jianliao]

Currently, when I run 'espresso server', it will show the following output:

$espresso server
The "sys" module is now called "util". It should have a similar interface.
LOG: Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/KitchenSink

Then I have to go to browser and type in the URL myself to see the website.

I am not sure if node could support it, but it will be very convenient to user if a browser could open for that url.

Well, if you are working on a mac, you can simply hold cmd and double click on the url printed in the terminal. This will open the url in the default browser.

But we will discuss the "auto-open"-feature anyway. THX for your feedback.

Best regards

Dominik,
Thanks for the tip, this is exactly how I use it now. Just try to see if we
can make it even better from a product point of view.

Thanks,
Jian
