Hello. I am trying to serve sitemap.xml in the root as https://example.com/sitemap.xml using

routing {
   staticResources("/", "files")
}

When I call directly in the browser it works, but when I do:
curl -I <http://example.com/sitemap.xml>
The response is:
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Length: 853
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

I suppose this content is from the Status Pages plugin:

install(StatusPages) {
   statusFile(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, filePattern = "error#.html")
}

I have tried the same with curl in localhost with same results.
Is this normal behaviour?

curl -I does a HEAD request instead of a GET, right? does the GET work?

i assume this is releated to https://ktor.io/docs/server-static-content.html#autohead
