404 error when loading /

[exhuma]

I have a fairly large code-base of which I want to profile one specific path through the app. I have set up a small script using cProfile.runctx but snakeviz failes loading it. All requests to / return a 404 error.

/ isn't a path programmed into snakeviz and I don't expect users to end up there. How are you starting snakeviz and ending up at /?

I'm running it on a remote server, forward the port and then open it in a local browser.

I noticed that it tries to open a browser, which can't work on the remote box as it is a headless machine.

People definitely do this using the server-only mode in snakeviz, but since there's no handler for / you'll need to go directly to the full URL for profile, which I expect snakeviz to print out when you start it. This seems like it might be similar to #58.

Specifying the full URI does make it work actually. Would be helpful to have some kind of default output on / though. If you like I could do a PR for this? If so, any things I should be aware of? And do you have any preference where and how it should be implemented?
