I think you can jigger StaticURLParser like this, though I haven't
tried it. At the bottom of middleware.py:
download_app = StaticURLParser("/var/myapp/public", "/download")
app = Cascade([download_app, static_app, javascripts_app, app])
return app
You may have to add or remove a slash before or after "/download".
One thing Quixote has that Pylons doesn't is a static resource fetcher
that acts as a controller method; i.e., it can be routed to inside the
application. This makes it possible to do things like custom MIME
types, cache times, authorization, logging, etc,, on individual files
or subdirectories. These aren't feasable unless you write your own
middleware (which is then divorced from the application environment).
So far I haven't needed it but it's something that would be
generally useful.
