Rails - Sep 2006 - Managing requests for static content in WEBrick and Mongrel

All,

Is there a way to set things up so that requests for static files in 
either WEBrick or Mongrel will just cause a regular HTTP request and not 
cause the dynamic routing-based invocation to occur?

I had an issue where a request for a missing .js file was causing 
another request to be registered, thus blowing away my flash data.

I tried to do this in my routing file, but I don''t think it is helping:

  map.connect ''javascripts/*stuff''
  map.connect ''stylesheets/*stuff''

Is there even a notion of separating static from dynamic content within 
the WEBrick or Mongrel environments?  If so, how is it achieved?

Thanks,
Wes

These are instances when a "higher up in the order" webserver would
shine.
Try routing from lighty to mongrel and then setting up conditional redirect
rules there.

You can also set up an asset host:

config.action_controller.asset_host = "http://myassets.x.com" (in
environments/production.rb)

Vish,

Thanks.  I''m good in production right now (although using Apache - need
to move to lighty or something else).

I''m wondering if I can control the development Web server to this
extent
though.
