关于NancyFX静态文件访问行为的技术咨询

Absolutely, the behavior you've described lines up perfectly with NancyFX's default static file handling logic! Let's break down each observation to confirm:

• 1. Accessing existing 1.html works as expected
  By default, NancyFX automatically scans your published directory (and its subdirectories) for static files when a request doesn’t match a defined route. If it finds a matching file like 1.html, it serves the file content directly to the browser—this is the standard out-of-the-box behavior for static assets.

• 2. Deleting 1.html returns a 404 error
  When the file is removed from disk, Nancy can’t locate the requested resource. Following HTTP standards, it returns a 404 NotFound response, which is exactly what you’d expect from the default setup.

• 3. Re-adding/modifying 1.html serves the latest content
  NancyFX doesn’t cache static file content by default. Every time a request is made for a static file, it checks the disk for the current version of the file. That means any changes you make (or re-adding the file) are immediately reflected when you refresh the browser—no extra configuration needed here.

• 4. Accessing non-existent 2.html returns a 404 error
  Just like with the deleted 1.html, if Nancy can’t find the requested file on disk, it returns a 404 response. This is consistent with how it handles any missing static resource by default.

If you ever wanted to adjust this behavior (like adding caching for static files, restricting access to specific directories, or changing where Nancy looks for static assets), you can customize it using StaticFileConventions in your bootstrapper. But what you're seeing right now is 100% the default behavior.
