You don't need to change anything in your routes file for that to work. Any static files that exist in the public folder (eg all your images/ js/css or public/static/test1.html) will be served as static files. Don't forget that the url to browse to these files is /static/ test1.html and not /public/static/test1.html since it is the public folder and not the rails root that is the webserver root directory.
