spring-boot-starter-webflux doesnt serve index.html by default

[gitorko]

org.springframework.boot
spring-boot-starter-parent
2.0.1.RELEASE

org.springframework.boot spring-boot-starter-webflux

After index.html is placed in resources/static folder the default page that gets loaded throws 404 error.
http://localhost:8080/ - throws 404
http://localhost:8080/index.html - works.

If you replace with spring-boot-starter-web the default page that gets served index.html works fine.
http://localhost:8080/ - works.
http://localhost:8080/index.html - works.

For anyone finding this issue, it doesn't work because there is no welcome page support with WebFlux at the time of writing. That enhancement is being tracked by #9785.
