Just as a little mention. The way asterisk handles the 'prefix' variable 
has changed. Often, we have this in http.conf:

prefix=

Which would not set a prefix at all, and would make the url look 
something like:

http://box/static/config/cfgbasic.html

This is the default behavior in 1.4.

In trunk (and 1.6, of course), setting the prefix variable to nothing 
would never allow me to get to the static folder, with the error "File 
not found".

Try setting prefix=test

Then go to

http://box/test/static/config/cfgbasic.html (or whatever your filename is)

There is a bug report open for this, and russellb made an attempt to fix 
it, and fixed a couple of little bugs actually, but not the ability to 
set the variable to nothing and have there not be a prefix.
