17645	runserver: not serving static for localhost	shadow	nobody	"runserver will only serve static files if STATIC_URL is relative. This makes sense if STATIC_URL includes a domain pointing to another server. However, it denies the possibility of including a localhost domain (as is needed by my current project).

I've currently worked around this by modifying: django/contrib/staticfiles/handlers.py


{{{
def _should_handle(self, path):
    return True
}}}


Sorry, I haven't had time to consider any side effects of this, but it's working for me at the moment.
