This can be done with a view and urlpattern. I've hacked up an implementation at: http://django.pastebin.com/347411 To use it, put that in your view directory (say in static.py), then add {{{ DOCUMENT_ROOT = '/your/local/document/root/dir' }}} to your settings file, and a pattern: {{{ (r'^(?P.*)$', 'foo.apps.foo.views.static.serve') }}} at the end of your urlpatterns list. This will pick up all the URLs that all the previous patterns couldn't match and try to find them under DOCUMENT_ROOT. Is there any interest in adding this view to the other views django already provides?" enhancement closed Generic views normal fixed Unreviewed 1 0 0 0 0 0
