在heroku上提供带烧瓶的静态html页面

Question

Im trying to figure out how to serve static pages from heroku with a flask app. I found this with some searching:

@app.route('/foo/<path:filename>')
def send_foo(filename):
     return send_from_directory('/path/to/static/files', filename)

But, this would be quite inefficient. Is there a way to have the front facing server directly serve these files?

Normally you would do this with mod_rewrite with apache or similar, but afaik heroku doesn't let's you change the http server configuration.

You'll need to use the rack middleware, it lets you write url rewrite rules with ruby. (check this out : http://icelab.com.au/articles/useful-heroku-friendly-rewrites-with-rack-rewrite/ )
