Question

i like to know how to serve a static HTML page by GAE using webapp framework. using python , the api states

self.response.out.write(htmlcontent)

is there any way to just provide the html filename, and GAE automatically servers it? Or do I have to manually load the file and put the contents using the above function?

Answer 1

You can serve a static HTML page like this, in app.yaml:

- url: /
  static_files: main.html
  upload: main\.html

This will serve the file main.html on the root (/) of the app.
