Add -u option to open browser with custom url

[hugomn]

In some cases you have a aliased domain for your localhost (e.g: local.mydomain.com) it's necessary you open the browser after running the http-server pointing to that domain.

Could you also update the README.md?

[hugomn]

Done! =)

[hugomn]

Any news on this?

[BigBlueHat]

This seems useful, but we may need to change the parameter from -u to --url after some of the other things like #245 get addressed--to be sure we're not going to make things too confusing parameter-wise. It's queued for v0.10.0 though.

There are a couple of merge conflicts, could you take a look at those? Thank you for your PR!

[thornjad]

could we actually change this to --url to avoid confusion with --utc and --username?

[hugomn]

No, it's not possible because -o doesn't let you specify the desired url to open. I'll check the conflicts (3 years after!).

[thornjad]

Actually @hugomn, can this functionality be achieved with the -o option?

[thornjad]

No, it's not possible

What about using -a? Like with the URL in your first comment, could you do this with -a local.mydomain.com -o /my/path?

(3 years after!)

Yeah I know, we're working on it :)

[thornjad]

Closing due to inactivity, re-open if we'd still like to get this functionality. In my opinion, this would be better added as part of -o rather than as its own option.
