I take it that I should inlcude the name of any directories such as

'images' (along with javascript & css ) in ./public that I want plack to
serve directly correct?

Yes, that's right. Sorry, I'd removed 'images' from my example, because my
app didn't use them.

Hi Dave,

I tried it and the app works fine. Thanks. However, is there a way to test
that is actually verify the files are bing served directly? It's not that I
doubt it, just want to make sure as I will be serving some rather large
files.

Simple approach - change the "root" directory in the plugin set-up to one that doesn't exist. Reload and see that your images disappear.

Dave...

Changed to: path => qr{^/(javascripts|css|images|profile_pics|user_vids)/} , root => './fontsXX/';

and refresshed a sort of makeshift dashboard page and all the non-text content dissapeared accept the embeded videos on that page which are in public/user_vids/ and are displayed with the following markup.

<% IF Vids.size %>
<div class="vcenter">
<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-offset-1 col-md-10">
      <div class="wraptocenter">
    <h5><b>My Videos:</b></h5>
    <% FOREACH v IN Vids %>
    
    <% IF v.substr(8, 1) == 'L' %>
    <video controls preload="auto" width="568" height="320">
    <% ELSE %>
    <video controls preload="auto" width="320" height="568">
    <% END %>
    
    <source src='user_vids/<% v %>.mp4' type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"' />
    <source src='user_vids/<% v %>.ogv' type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"' />
    
    </video>
    <% END %>
      </div>
    </div>
</div>
</div>
<% END %>

Any idea why they persist?
