        root: 'app',
        port: 8080,
        middleware: function () {
            return [function (req, res, next) {
                var url = req.url.split('?').shift();
                gulp.src('src' + url) // load file of an different folder than the root one
                    .pipe(parse()) // do any content modifications
                    .pipe(respond(res)); // push the modified content directly to the response
            }];
        }
    });
});
