http-server runing on project root folder path without any reasons

[StephaneBonilla]

Environment Versions

1. Windows 11
2. Node version: v18.16.1
3. http-server version: v14.1.1

Steps to reproduce

I have a project with a dist folder. When i open a terminal in that folder and run http-server, it use the project root folder instead of the folder where i opened the terminal.

Expected result

http-server root path should use the path of the folder i opened the terminal

Actual result

Http-server root path is using the project root path.

I encountered the same problem on linux. And the reason for me is the permission. After I added 777 permission recursively to the dist folder, It worked by running the http-server under the dist directory.

Still happening for me on version 1.0.1, but I've found a hint in a README file that pointed me to avoid -o and just use the path directly.

The following works:

http-serve -p 9000 dist

Marking this as sus - I'm not able to reproduce this behavior so a minimal reproduction would be helpful.
