Rails - Apr 2006 - Routing to a static HTML file under RAILS_ROOT

I have a regular plain old static HTML file under my RAILS_ROOT that I 
would like to serve as itself (without any dynamic anything).

How can I write a route to "pass the request through" succesfully.

I tried

  map.connect ''path_to_file'', :controller => nil, :action
=> nil, :id =>
nil

but that didn''t work.

Also, note that I have this route already configured:

  map.connect '''', :controller => "eSimply"

so I''m thinking that maybe that picks up everything?

Thanks,
Wes

Just stick it in your public/ directory.  The web server will spot that 
it exists, and not trigger the 404 action that drops into Rails, serving 
the static file instead.

Thanks Alex.

I should have checked my path more carefully - I simply asked for the 
wrong file.

Sorry for the wasted time.
