This mechanism is not intended to serve "ordinary" static files located in the public directory of an application. Rather, it is a way for your controller to hand off serving a file to Apache instead of doing it from within Rails. So, your controller *has* to be involved. It''s the job of the controller action to decide which file to return in the response and then call send_file with that file as a parameter. In the production environment, this has the effect that the Rails process does not respond with the file itself. Instead, Rails sets a special header which in turn is picked up by Apache (or nginx, lighttpd) and interpreted in such a way that it now serves the named file.
