Description

I'm trying to serve a static index.html file and I think my code is correct but when I go to http://localhost/static I get:

{
  code: "NotAuthorized",
  message: "/static"
}

Is it an issue with the current changes that have been made to the static file serving JS or is it an issue with my code?

Route:

app.get(/\/static\/?.*/, restify.serveStatic({ 
    directory: "./",
    default: "index.html"
}));

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check if authentication middleware is interfering with static file serving. Review the serveStatic plugin documentation and ensure the route is not being intercepted by an auth plugin.
