Requests to public files are being sent through the router in production env

#5335

When running projects in production environment (rails server -e production) all requests to files in the public folder (robots.txt, CSS files, Javascripts, etc.) are for some reason being sent through the Rails router, instead of being served directly. This causes the following error message in the log:

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches "/any_file_in_public_folder.xxx"):

When starting up the server in development mode, there is no problem.

System information:

Operating system: Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard
Ruby version: 1.8.7
Rails version: 3.0.0.rc

    Rails 3 has a new default config option in production:

    config.serve_static_assets = false

    which would cause the error you're seeing. (Normally in actual production you'd have a front-facing web server like Apache, which would handle the request for static files before it reached the Rails router, so you wouldn't get this error). So, I think this is intentional.
