It is true that x-accel-redirect is the best approach, but there are cases where you are forced to serve static files from the backend. I find a bit strange you had problems with static file serving, once you enable offloading the system became very robust (by default uWSGI has very low timeouts and this is generally the problem that causes "fragility", while offloading has basically no timeout, except for the lower level ones). When serving static files, lot of low-level details come into place (check the virtualbox problem with sendfile()), or shared filesystem and so on. The only certain thing, is not serve the static file through your app code ! :) -- Roberto De Ioris http://unbit.com _______________________________________________ uWSGI mailing list [email protected] http://lists.unbit.it/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uwsgi
