Version 1.13.0 of grunt-http-server of your favourite grunt static files server was released today.

Thanks to Jason and his pull request we can now automatically open the browser when the grunt task is triggered.

'http-server': {

        'root': {
            root            : "",
            host            : "127.0.0.1",
            port            : function(){ return 8585; },
            openBrowser     : true
        }

    }

You can find all information about this package on npm
