Hey,
is there a way to configure Plug.Static at runtime (right after boot)?
I have a usecase where the location of the files and the desired request path (:from and :at options) is only known after startup.
Where Next?

This is going to be complicated because
Plug.Staticuses pattern matching to only match against particularfrom/atvalues. I guess you could write a custom plug that makes its decisions dynamically and eat the performance loss.Also Liked

Performance is not a big deal here. So I might look into building my own version of
Plug.Static.EDIT: Seems like it would be enough to create a wrapper plug that calls
Plug.Static.call/2with the conn and the dynamically created options.Last Post!

I’m wondering if you called
Plug.Static.init/1still. The opts forcall/2are not always the same data passed on theplugcall.
