Expected Behavior

webpack-dev-server works with IE11

Actual Behavior

webpack-dev-server does not work with IE11

For Bugs; How can we reproduce the behavior?

All of my existing projects won't load when I test them in IE11 using webpack-dev-server. I believe it is due to this right here a599f99#diff-132d57f8fb3545bbf4802e0ac0c1b2e2R57 since startsWith is not supported in IE11. AFAIK there is no way to stop webpack-dev-server from injecting that code into the client. As a workaround, I can downgrade to 3.9.0
