by convention, web2py maps requests this way:
application / controller / function { / args / vars }
If application is "init" or "welcome", then you're left w/ controller /
function
so if your app is init, then http://my.domain.info/file.html ---- asks
web2py for the controller "file", but does not provide a function....
Since there is no controller "file", you get a controller error.
Let's go one further - if there WERE a contoller/file.py, then
http://my.domain.info/file
would look for the function "index" in file.py, and return with
http://my.domain.info/file/index.html
Take a look, for example, at gluon/html.py::URL()
