Exactly. Files that are marked as static in GAE are served directly by GAE. Web2py is never invoked, and no rewriting takes place. If you rewrite the URLs, then GAE doesn't recognize the file as static, and gives it to web2py, which rewrites it. But GAE doesn't allow Python apps to access files that are marked as static, hence the blocked-access messages (I don't know why that is; presumably they're actually stored elsewhere, or something like that). If you really, really need to rewrite those URLs, you could tell GAE (via app.yaml) that the static directory is not static. That would be less efficient, since web2py would have to run for each of those files (though if they're cached, that might not be all that bad). > > On Nov 28, 2:30 pm, Emceha <[email protected]> wrote: >> On Nov 28, 8:42 pm, Jonathan Lundell <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> On Nov 28, 2010, at 11:08 AM, Emceha wrote: >>> Have you looked at the logger output?
