And make sure your siteurl in settings does not have the subpath as recommended.

Then you can stick real static files and directories in root and they will work, just be careful about interfering with slug names. That is what the -f -d is, rewrite if not a actual file or directory name.

This gives you a nice clean site with

/staticfiles.html
/staticdirectories/
/getsimple
