I have a directory structure I want to serve, that contains files as binary and some meta-information about them as json. for some directories, I need to compute some things on the fly and serve that. I want to compute and serve that information using tornado.
Here is an example:
> ls /manufacturers/*
audi/
audi.json
mercedes/
mercedes.json
> wget http://localhost/manufactures/audi.json
returns the json file using nginx static serving
> wget http://localhost/?diesel
returns a json file with manufactures that
create cars with diesel engines computed by and using tornado
