Question

My site is here.

It used to be a Django-powered blog. However I no longer update it so I just wanted to make it a static HTML site. I wget’ed it and moved it to Heroku with Ruby Rack.

However every URL resolves to the home page. This is because of my config.ru file:

use Rack::Static, 
  :urls => ["/media/images", "/media/js", "/media/css"],
  :root => "public"

run lambda { |env|
  [
    200, 
    {
      'Content-Type'  => 'text/html', 
      'Cache-Control' => 'public, max-age=86400' 
    },
    File.open('public/index.html', File::RDONLY)
  ]
}

Question: Is there a way to map multiple URLs? e.g. foo.com/about maps to public/about/index.html, foo.com/posts/2012/oct/21/blog-postmaps to public/posts/2012/oct/21/blog-post/index.html

At this point I’d even be fine typing each one by hand.

Thanks for your help.

For now I found the best answer to be:

use Rack::Static, 
  :urls => ["/media/images", "/media/js", "/media/css"],
  :root => "public"

map "/" do
  run lambda { |env|
  [
    200, 
    {
      'Content-Type'  => 'text/html', 
      'Cache-Control' => 'public, max-age=86400' 
    },
    File.open('public/index.html', File::RDONLY)
  ]
}
end

map "/portfolio" do
  run lambda { |env|
  [
    200, 
    {
      'Content-Type'  => 'text/html', 
      'Cache-Control' => 'public, max-age=86400' 
    },
    File.open('public/portfolio/index.html', File::RDONLY)
  ]
}
end

And map every URL to its respective file. Tedious, but works. See also the answer to this question regarding URL variables. Couldn’t get it to work for me though.
