Re: How to serve any static directory?

Hi,

The main reason I try to serve those static files with django is because I would like to use django to configure the route. 

Trying to clarify my question:

1. The url (http://<host>/site/<user-friendly-url>/) doesn't match the directory name (which could be anything, like `XYZ_html/`).

2. Administrators must be able to upload new archives, which should be extracted and served automatically. 

For those two reasons, I don't have any idea how to serve this content using the webserver, because how is it possible to configure the routes then?

Thank you for your answer

Not sure if I get you right, you want to serve static files with django?
Is there any reason why it's not possible to serve them with nginx/apache?
