[nodejs] Re: Static resources not resolved with Express ?

[tjholowaychuk]

you'll have more luck in the express-js google group, but yes static()
supports nesting like the others mentioned, the pathname is basically
appended to the root path you give static(), so the following is very
typical:

*app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public')); *
