Re: Serving static/dynamic files under same suburl

Nginx can test to see if a file is available, and if it exist load that instead of proxying the request to django.

location / {

    alias /var/www/static/;

    if (!-f $request_filename) {

        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;

    }

}

Now if /var/www/static/foo.js exists, but /var/www/static/bar.js does not foo.js will be served as a static file by nginx and the bar.js request will be passed to django where you can use a template to dynamically serve it.

Apparently I didn't made myself clear enough.

So let me clarify:

I have two files that must be accessed using following urls:

/myapp/views/foo.js
/myapp/views/bar.js

foo.js is a static file and can (and should) be served by using static
serving, like webserver.

bar.js instead is a file that contains django template directives and
must be served through django template rendering mechanism.

This can (and probably should) be handled by your Web server.

For example, in nginx you may be serving the Django app with something
like this:

     location / {
         proxy_passhttp://127.0.0.1:8400;
     }

And for static content nginx may direct the request elsewhere. This
example directs
any requests ending in '.html' to a static folder.

     location ~ ^/.*\.html{
         root /var/www/my_static_content;
     }
