the private dir is not "exposed" by default (the name "private" should have
give you an hint :-P )......
if you need to do something like that (e.g. a fast way to give access to
some static file) you'd better put them in the /static directory (in that
case it will work with exactly the same code you used).
If you need something that "lists" whatever you have in a fixed directory
of yours, you can use the Expose class
from gluon.tools import Expose
def list_my_dir():
path = os.path.join(request.folder, 'private', 'whatever')
##you shouldn't expose the "private" directory, but if you decided to
do so ....
files = Expose(path=path, basename='wonderful')
return dict(files=files)
