Support Custom URL for Browser Open in Development Mode (nuxt dev -o) #187

Description

@littleCareless

Describe the feature

Description:
It would be great if the open option in development mode (nuxt dev -o) could support opening a custom URL or path in the browser. Currently, it always opens the root path (/). This enhancement would provide greater flexibility and improve developer experience, especially when working with environments that use a reverse proxy (e.g., Nginx).

Use Case:
When developing under a reverse proxy setup, the default root path might not be the desired entry point. For example, developers may need to test a specific subpath that maps to a proxied service. Allowing a custom URL or path to be passed to the open option would save time and streamline the development workflow.

Proposed Solution:
Add support for a custom URL parameter to the open option. For example:

nuxt dev -o /custom-path
# or
nuxt dev -o http://custom-domain.com/custom-path

Benefits:

Improved development experience (UX) in environments with reverse proxy setups.
Increased flexibility for testing specific subpaths or URLs during development.
Looking forward to your consideration of this feature. Thank you! 😊
