Serve static files via wai-app-static #368

Open cocreature opened 3 years ago

cocreature commented 3 years ago

After pondering #367 for a while, this seemed like a nicer solution than providing an option to disable this:

wai-app-static is pretty battletested at this point, it’s well maintained, has relatively few dependencies and it provides some extra functionality around caching which may be useful.

That way, we avoid our own validation logic which was broken several times and I’m not surprised if it’s broken again.

This PR does not address haddock: and file: links. Those deliberately do not limit paths but they are also disabled by default so from a security pov this is less of an issue.
