Mongrel users - Jun 2008 - Static files and mongrel

Hi

how does mongrel (without rails or merb) handles Static files? Do I  
have to create a handler for static file handling?

Thanks

Use the DirHandler.  It''s one of the standard handlers bundled with
Mongrel.  If you look at the Mongrel code, it is in the
mongrel/handlers.rb file.

The general advice, to let whatever is upstream of Mongrel handle
static files, is good advice, though.

Oh, I though it was just for Directory listing. Does it handle  
automatically the MIME type? I see in the doc that there are  
references to a mimes.yml

thanks for the advice. This is not meant for production system but  
more simulator so should be fine. Otherwise I use Apache or any other  
web server usually to pick up the static files then have mongrel just  
handle dynamic part

Thanks
