title: aiohttp: Serve single static file
body: <p><strong>How to serve a single static file (instead of an entire directory) using aiohttp?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Static file serving seems to be baked into the routing system with <a href="http://aiohttp.readthedocs.org/en/stable/web_reference.html#aiohttp.web.UrlDispatcher.add_static" rel="noreferrer">UrlDispatcher.add_static()</a>, but this only serves entire directories.</p>
  
  <p>(I know that I eventually should use something like nginx to serve static files in a production environment.)</p>
