How to setup URLs for static site with Ruby Rack on Heroku

Question

My site is here.

It used to be a Django-powered blog. However I no longer update it so I just wanted to make it a static HTML site. I wget\'ed it and moved it to Her

Answer 1

For now I found the best answer to be:

use Rack::Static, 
  :urls => ["/media/images", "/media/js", "/media/css"],
  :root => "public"

map "/" do
  run lambda { |env|
  [
    200, 
    {
      'Content-Type'  => 'text/html', 
      'Cache-Control' => 'public, max-age=86400' 
    },
    File.open('public/index.html', File::RDONLY)
  ]
}
end

map "/portfolio" do
  run lambda { |env|
  [
    200, 
    {
      'Content-Type'  => 'text/html', 
      'Cache-Control' => 'public, max-age=86400' 
    },
    File.open('public/portfolio/index.html', File::RDONLY)
  ]
}
end

And map every URL to its respective file. Tedious, but works. See also the answer to this question regarding URL variables. Couldn't get it to work for me though.

Why do you need the run statement? Maybe this works for you:

use Rack::Static, 
  :urls => ["/media/images", "/media/js", "/media/css"],
  :root => "public",
  :index => "index.html",
  :header_rules => [
    [:all, {'Cache-Control' => 'public, max-age=86400'}]
  ]

run lambda{ |env| [ 404, { 'Content-Type'  => 'text/html' }, ['404 - page not found'] ] }
