Laravel Routing and PHP Dev Server

I'm having a Laravel route that can take infinite number of paths.

Route::get('test/{path?}', calback)->where('path', '.*');

Everything works OK when I use php artisan serve.

But when I cd to public and start PHP dev server like this php -S localhost:8002 than I'm having an issue with paths that request a file.

Route like this works still:

/test/something/here

But not like this:

/test/something/here.dd

It seems that PHP dev server right away looks for a static file in public when there is a dot in the URI and Laravel routes do not even get parsed.

I haven't tested but I assume that Apache, NGIX, IIS, lighttpd and others behave the same.

Is there something I'm missing here or some kind of Laravel workaround which would not require editing servers config files?
What I want is to look in Laravel routes first in all cases.

For reasons I will not get into right now editing server config files is not an option.
