Comment (by brutasse):
Hmmm this is trickier. With the patch applied, the media files aren't
served by staticfiles but defining a custom view won't work either.
{{{
urlpatterns += patterns('django.contrib.staticfiles.views',
url(r'^static/media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'serve',
{'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
)
}}}
The 'serve' view is called, but the options dict is not passed to the
view. 'document_root' is swallowed somewhere and ends up as None in the
view, something bad probably happens in the staticfiles handler. If I
change MEDIA_URL to '/static_media/' and the URL pattern to
{{{r'^static_media/(?P<path>.*)$'}}}, the options dict is correctly passed
to the view.
I thought modifying _should_handle() on !StaticFilesHandler would do the
job, but apparently it's not enough. The staticfiles handler isn't
transparently giving the control back to the parent WSGIHandler if
_should_handle returns false.
