Hi there, Am I missing something or does the new :index option of the Rack::Static middleware from 1.4.0 now make it completely impossible to handle the "/" path in another middleware lower in the stack? Eg: use Rack::Static, :urls => ["/css", "/js", "/images"], :root => "public" use MyRackMiddlewareWhichWantsToHandleTheRootURL In this configuration, "/" is *always* intercepted by Rack::Static because the :index option defaults to "index.html" and doesn't seem to allow to ignore it and pass it down to the lower middleware. -- Luc Heinrich - luc / honk-honk.com
