Hi Jason,
Can't say I've had experience with this directly, but here's my
suggestions:
First, you'll need to set APPEND_SLASH=False in your settings
Next, the trick is that you can pass an iterable of templates to try
rather than a single template, something like:
from os.path import join
from django.templates.generic.simple import direct_to_template
def serve(request, path):
paths = (join(path, 'index.html'), path)
return direct_to_template(request, paths)
