these should be under controller name "static", so I don't expect what Massimo describes will conflict. But this brings up another intersting glitch we've had - static files that refer in their own links to a directory making the long-standing assumption that any server will "look for" index.html in the directory if no file is specified. Microsoft's IIS servers do more: they setup a "path" of default files, and allow you to add and re-order that list, e.g. "default.asp; default.html; index.html" --- which is nice, because it is general.
For example, when trying to "implement" sqldesigner, it's help files could not be used in web2py because of this lack of "looking for static files, if path turned out to be just a directory". While, from a code perspective, this is a separate issue - from a logical perspective, it is a related feature - doing something historically normal with paths.
