The whole point of having a separate media server is so that media requests don't go through urls.py at all. You just set your front-end code to point to the assets on the separate server. MEDIA_URL can be set to the address of that server if you like, so that you can use it as a variable within your templates to generate the correct URL, but Django doesn't (and shouldn't) do anything special with it. -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
