using static content <https://ktor.io/servers/features/static-content.html>
can i do `static("/")` and access files from the root of the jar ?
it seems like when i do that the requests do not match

The static resources are usually in a directory like resources/static. You can use shadowjar to compile the entire app including static files into a single jar file.

yes i do that.. as `static("static") { resources("html") }` it works.. i am trying to get requests to `/index.html` to work though (instead of `/static/index.html`)

static("/") {
            resources("static")
        }

That is what I do on my web app to achieve what you are after.

It will treat the resources/static directory as the root / directory.
