if a file is truly static we think it should be handled by the web
server and not by web2py. If instead you need an action to serve a
static file (the file is in uploads or private and you want to check
permission or do other things) you can do something like this:
def static():
# use request.folder and response.headers[...]=...
return response.stream(file)
