Hi all.

in the appfog ML we were fighting again the possibility to serve static file in django without using an external server.

So far AF does not provide a setup of the server to split the server in static and dynamic (django) folders.

so, one of the solution is to use this

# urls.py 

urlpatterns += patterns('', 
url(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', { 
'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT}) 
)

but, is it ok to use this trick in django or will it lead to problems (aka memory problems and stuff like that)?

The documentation state «Again, this view is not hardened for production use» [1]

What is the particular issue your are facing ? Maybe tproxy [2] can help.

the problem is that the appfog server does not provide a way to set up static part. so for convenience i (we) tried to use a workaround for solving the problem.

ciao
