CherryPy provides two simple tools to serve either a single file or an entire directory. In either case CherryPy takes care of the HTTP caching aspect of your static resource by automatically checking the presence of the If-Modified-Since and If-Unmodified-Since headers in the request and returning directly the 304 Not Modified response, if that's the case.
