[BUG][PWA] Url error in the "ngsw.json" file with a "baseHref" pointing to a file (eg: "/index.html")

Reproduce la compilación de PWA utilizando los valores de baseHref en angular.json e inspecciona el ngsw.json generado. Comienza por la ruta de compilación que construye las URL del service worker; se considera terminado cuando un baseHref con valor de archivo mantiene index.html como índice, mientras que las URL de los assets utilizan la ruta que contiene el archivo, sin el segmento duplicado /index.html/.

Current behavior

I have a problem with the file ngsw.json (dist/xxx/ngsw.json), when I build my application.
Here is the configuration of my file angular.json:

{
  "$schema": "./node_modules/@angular/cli/lib/config/schema.json",
  "version": 1,
  "newProjectRoot": "projects",
  "projects": {
    "xxxxxx-xxxxxx-web": {
      ...
      "architect": {
        "build": {
          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:browser",
          "options": {
            "baseHref": "/index.html",   <-- baseHref with path to a file
            ...
          },
          "configurations": {
            "develop": {
              ...
              "baseHref": "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/index.html",   <-- baseHref with path to a file
              "fileReplacements": [
                {
                  "replace": "src/environments/environment.ts",
                  "with": "src/environments/environment.develop.ts"
                }
              ],
              "optimization": true,
              "outputHashing": "all",
              "sourceMap": true,
              "extractCss": true,
              "namedChunks": false,
              "aot": true,
              "extractLicenses": true,
              "vendorChunk": false,
              "buildOptimizer": true,
              "serviceWorker": true
            }
            ...

As you can see, my baseHref points to a file (index.html). And when I compile, here is the result of the file ngsw.json:

{
  "configVersion": 1,
  "index": "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/index.html/index.html",
  "assetGroups": [                 ^^^^^^^^^^
    {
      "name": "app",
      "installMode": "prefetch",
      "updateMode": "prefetch",
      "urls": [                 vvvvvvvvvv
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/index.html/4.459d2c031076fa54578c.js",
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/index.html/5.b0a92526f07730e41004.js",
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/index.html/index.html",
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/index.html/main.284d15247a9766d625e1.js",
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/index.html/polyfills.f8bea440aac573c30541.js",
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/index.html/runtime.e04cbf91ceee4f9b3494.js",
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/index.html/styles.380a38f67b77a997829f.css"
      ],                        ^^^^^^^^^^
      "patterns": []
    },
    {
      "name": "assets",
      "installMode": "lazy",
      "updateMode": "prefetch",
      "urls": [                 vvvvvvvvvv
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/index.html/assets/icons/icon-128x128.png",
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/index.html/assets/icons/icon-144x144.png",
        ...                     ^^^^^^^^^^

As you can see, it generates all the urls of the file with the .../index.html/..., as if it were a folder. As this file is used for the cache of the application, the cache does not work since it is not the right url...

Expected behavior

I think the file should have looked like this:

{
  "configVersion": 1,
  "index": "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/index.html",
  "assetGroups": [
    {
      "name": "app",
      "installMode": "prefetch",
      "updateMode": "prefetch",
      "urls": [
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/4.459d2c031076fa54578c.js",
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/5.b0a92526f07730e41004.js",
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/index.html",
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/main.284d15247a9766d625e1.js",
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/polyfills.f8bea440aac573c30541.js",
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/runtime.e04cbf91ceee4f9b3494.js",
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/styles.380a38f67b77a997829f.css"
      ],
      "patterns": []
    },
    {
      "name": "assets",
      "installMode": "lazy",
      "updateMode": "prefetch",
      "urls": [
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/assets/icons/icon-128x128.png",
        "/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/assets/icons/icon-144x144.png",
        ...

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

You just have to create an application (which uses PWA) and have a baseHref that points to a file (eg: index.html). And when you compile your application, the url generated in the ngsw.json file will be wrong.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

I think it would just take into account when the "baseHref" to deal with a file, take the root of the file (and not take the file for a folder).

For information, I use a baseHref to a file, because I use the system of route of Angular with the hash and that the url https://storage.googleapis.com/dev-web-xxxxxx-xxxxxx/ does not point towards my file index.html. As the project is hosted on a Google Cloud Storage, when we update the application (CTRL+F5, ...) with a url of this type ...-xxxxxx/#/user/login, I end up with a 404 error (because the url in ...-xxxxxx/ does not point to the file index.html). To solve this problem, I force Angular to keep the index.html in the URL (eg: ...-xxxxxx/index.html#/user/login), through baseHref with the index.html in it.

For now, I make the corrections of the url in the file ngsw.json manually, so that the cache of the application works...
