express.static middleware not looking in the specified directory (for serving static files)

Question

I have a fairly simple setup

app.configure(function() {
    app.use('/public', express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
    app.use(app.router);
});

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
...

I request /somefile and expect express to look for it in /public/somefile .

But it doesn't look there.

But when I look for public/somefile directly, it does find it.

Is something wrong with my code?

Answer 1

It was just a cache issue. Force-reload fixed it.
