Hi, sorry for the delay.. I have reproduced this and will get it fixed ASAP.

Fixed and released in lws-rewrite v0.4.1, please reinstall local-web-server to pick up the change.

I traced the issue to an update in path-to-regexp which "removed the asterisk functionality". At some point in the future I will upgrade the path-to-regexp dependency and advise people to use the new (.*) syntax instead.
