[web2py] Serving dynamic HTML files

2011-11-01 Thread John Duddy
I'm creating an app that runs external programs, which produce HTML reports. These reports are produced outside the static directory, but I want the user to be able to browse them. Is there a way I can tell web2py to serve those files like it does static files? All the links in the HTML files are

I have a config table, and I query for values like this from a cron program: db(db.config.name=='api_key').select(db.config.value).first().value This query always returns the same value, even after I change it via the admin app's database editor. Is the DAL doing some sort of caching? Is there a
