That's an interesting thing to think about.  For the relative links to 
work, all you have to do is serve the static content without changes, 
allow simple URLs, redirect when a user visits a folder without a 
trailing slash, and show the "index.html" (or Welcome.htm, default.html, 
etc.) when visiting a folder.

I don't think we have a specific solution, but it occurs to me that 
uploading static content then browsing to it (checking whether relative 
links point to the right place) would make a good functional test.
