Hi Rob,
They are tried in order of preference. But remember that Xavante will look
at basedir .. "/resources" .. rest_of_uri in your example, are you sure the
problem isn't that you do not have a "resources" folder under your
web_resources path?
If you want to strip the /resources part from the path you can try this
rule:
{
match = "^(/resources)",
with = function (req, res, cap)
req.relpath = req.relpath:sub(#cap[1]+1)
return xavante.filehandler(settings.get
"web_resources")(req, res)
end
},
