[CentralOH] web.py

[Greg Singer]

I think the only solution (besides changing httpserver.py) is
something like the below, which I haven't tested but I think should
work:

url = (
  "/data/(.*)",  "StaticContent"
)

class StaticContent:
  def GET(self, fname):
    try:
      i = open("static/" + fname)
      print i.read()
    except IOError:
      web.notfound()
