The '--proxy' option does not work - or at least does not work the same as it did with the systemjs version. For example, I can run:

ng serve --proxy http://example.com

and request using Http:

http.get("/api/xyzzy").suscribe( xxxx );

and I can see it makes a request of the local server but the local server returns the application entry page (index.html).

This version of angular-cli calls out:

"ember-cli": "2.5.0"

which calls out:

"http-proxy": "^1.9.0",

and I have verified that both these are present at those versions.
