How to override static url from controller?

Hi, is it possible to return content from controller rather
than
"real" static file? Take my case. I have a
test.txt file in /static/
and a expose method static, if I request url http://localhos
t:8080/static/test.txt,
it returns "In file test.txt". But I do need the
content returned from
controller, that is "In controller". Any idea?

# /path/to/static/test.txt
In file test.txt

# Controller.py
class Root(controllers.RootController):
    expose()
    def static(name):
        return 'In controller'

It's a bit confusing. I will assume that you wanna return
the content of
test.txt from the controller manually instead of the static
tool. Right?

If that's so you can call the
cherrypy.lib.static.serve_file() [1]
method from the controller. Or you can use the capacity of
the static
tool to be applied as a page handler itself [2]
