How to config apache reply for some request and not sent that for tornado

Question

I have a web site that wrote by python and tornado. Apache is my web server.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName food.domain.com
    ProxyPass /  http://127.0.0.1:8004/ retry=0 acquire=3000 timeout=600 Keepalive=On

    ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8004/
    ProxyPreserveHost On

    DocumentRoot /var/food

    <Directory /var/food/ >
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            allow from all
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/php.error.log
    LogLevel warn

    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

In my site the static files begins with /static for example:

http://food.domain.com/static/favicon.ico
http://food.domain.com/static/upload/main/20x20_73213076755756.png

Now apache remise all urls to tornado server.

I want the URLS begin with static not send to tornado and that file replayed by apache or otherwise.

what is best solution?

You can simply exclude that path from ProxyPass with exclamation mark:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName food.domain.com

    DocumentRoot /var/food
    ProxyPass /static !

    ProxyPass /  http://127.0.0.1:8004/ retry=0 acquire=3000 timeout=600 Keepalive=On

    ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8004/
    ProxyPreserveHost On

    <Directory /var/food/ >
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            allow from all
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/php.error.log
    LogLevel warn

    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

If your statics are at /var/food/static then there is nothing else to do.
