                                       StaticFile

a file from the file system, served pretty directly.

Some of these static files can be javascript (that's usually minified on the fly) or nevow templates. These we want to cache. For everything else, we don't win anything by caching, but, when we serve large data, we can DoS ourselves. So, we decide manually whether to cache.

The caches are bound to an RD passed in as cacheRD at construction time. For system resources, that should be getRD(registry.SERVICELIST_ID).

On-the-fly processing is based on certain magic mime types: text/nevow-template is rendered and application/javascript is minified.
