I'm confused. This returns a static image? This is very close to the code I
was already running and it was not returning statically served images from
Nginx. web2py appeared to be modifying the mime type to force the browser
to download the image unless it was in an <img> tag. If I told Nginx
specifically to server the jpg in the uploads folder it would 404.
Anyway, Anthony's solution worked. I just changed the upload folder to
static/content and now my images are being served directly from Nginx via
my static location block.
