title: Django to serve static files with exceptions
body: <p>In my production environment I have Nginx serving static files for my Django application, but while developing I let Django so the work.</p>
  
  <p>I need to have Nginx serving all static files <em>but</em> those in a certain subdirectory. So, Django side, I need to intercept that directory and treat it differently.</p>
  
  <p>How can I make Django dev server intercept all the calls to <code>/static/*</code> but not those to <code>/static/myspecialfiles/*´ and hence write a url route to handle the GET calls to said</code>/static/myspecialfiles/*´?</p>
