Routing errors serving static files with Mongrel

#2180

Mongrel produces a routing error when serving static files without using a complete url.

i.e. GET /folder doesn't render public/folder/index.html but instead raises a routing error.

An empty route does serve public/index.html, as one would expect, but no XHTML files in subdirectories are ever served.

This behaviour did not exist in Rails 2.2.2.

    • Tag changed from 2.3, mongrel, routing to 2.3, 2.3-rc2, mongrel, routing

    This looks like a regression.

    Before 2.3:

    /               =>  public/index.html
/foo/bar/  =>  public/foo/bar/index.html

    After 2.3:

    /              =>  public/index.html
/foo/bar/ =>  404

    Does this happen on script/server, mongrel_rails, or both?

    It was with script/server. Thanks for the fix Josh.
