Need help serving a static page from manila site

[Chris Bunch]

You could use the {mainResponder.redirect(myURL)} macro:

If you have access to an Apache or similar server put your image there, then
create an string item in your main Manila site table, at the top level,
called wm and give it a value like
{mainResponder.redirect("http://my.staticserver/images/wm")} (with the
correct URL, of course.
