I found out why this was happening, too.  The Dancer2 cookbook is the 
culprit again.

Under "Sessions and logging in," it recommends something like this:

hook before => sub {
     if (!session('user') && request->dispatch_path !~ m{^/login}) {
         forward '/login', { requested_path => request->dispatch_path };
     }
};

The only way that can work is if the /login route handler doesn't depend 
on any static content, because it turns all URL requests into "/login" URLs.

It should be modified like this:

hook before => sub {
     if (!session('user') &&
             request->dispatch_path !~ m{^/login} &&
             request->dispatch_path !~ m{^/public/}) {
         forward '/login', { requested_path => request->dispatch_path };
     }
};

That is, don't mess with the "/public/" subtree.
