The static dir is meant only for development. Which is typically replaced with a lighttpd/apache rewrite rule in production. If you are using lighttpd, then you may want to use X-LIGHTTPD-send-file header to serve files after authentication. http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/1/wiki/X-LIGHTTPD-send-file --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web.py" group.
