You are missing a leading slash before media in your src= here. Without it
the browser will request a url relative to the page you are providing (take
a look at the GETs printed out by the dev server when you request the page),
but your url spec for the static server requires that the 'media/' be at the
beginning of the requested url. So what you have will only work when you
are serving the root page.
