5157	Direct Apache to serve a static file from view code	mgiger@…	nobody	" Django is not meant to be a static file server, but there is no easy method to direct Apache to serve a file. I have a use case where I need to authenticate a user and decide which static media file to pass back based on some model and view logic.

Usage:
if serve_static:
    raise http.HttpInternalRedirect('/path/to/file/')
