Which also explains this:
[09/Feb/2008 11:58:42] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 39
[09/Feb/2008 11:58:42] "GET /site_media/my_image.jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 39
namely that the request for / and the jpg both returned 39 bytes. That
looked a bit odd to me but I hadn't gotten a chance to look in any detail at
your config. It makes perfect sense if the requests are begin served by the
same view.
Beside the point now, but one way to see if your static.serve setup is point
at what you expect is to include 'show_indexes': True in the dict supplied
in the urlpattern spec. That way you can bring up a directory listing view
in your browser of exactly what files the static server will be serving up,
and double check that the associated urls you see in your browser window are
what you are supplying in your templates.
