Catalyst::Plugin::Static - Serve static files with Catalyst

NAME

Catalyst::Plugin::Static - Serve static files with Catalyst

SYNOPSIS

    use Catalyst 'Static';
    # let File::MMagic determine the content type
    $c->serve_static;
    # or specify explicitly if you know better
    $c->serve_static('text/css');

DESCRIPTION

Serve static files from config->{root}. Note that for most purposes, you'll probably want to use the Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple manpage rather than this one.

METHODS

finalize
This plugin overrides finalize to make sure content is removed on redirect.

serve_static
Call this method from your action to serve requested path as a static file from your root. takes an optional content_type parameter

serve_static_file <file>
Serve a specified static file.

SEE ALSO

Catalyst.

CAVEATS

This module is not as optimized for static files as a normal web server, and is most useful for stand alone operation and development.
