Redirect Static Files

[jbearden0]

My application has both a plain HTML client I use mostly for development and a Google Web Toolkit client I use mostly for production. On the production server the GWT files reside in an app directory under root, but when using the GWT client for development the files reside in a separate directory. Currently I use straight Plack but I am trying to switch to mojolicious. With Plack I can redirect requests for certain static files like this:

builder {
   enable "Static", pass_through => 1, path => sub { s!^/app/!! }, root => '../gwt/war/';

  $app;
};

How would I accomplish that with mojolicious?

See Mojolicious Rendering Guide for static files.

As always before I post here I perused the documentation and googled for an answer. I did not find what I was looking for, but i did find a work around. Instead of redirecting the entire directory using some sort of Mojolicious::Static magic like I wanted, I just pick off individual requests and serve them with "$c->reply->static".

You can change the static path which defaults to "public" in application startup, if that suits your needs, via $app->static->paths. Any files in the application static prefix will be served without going through the dynamic routing.
