My simple GAE app is not redirecting to the /static directory for requests when url is multiple levels.

Dir structure:

 /app/static/css/main.css

App:

I have two handlers one for /app and one for /app/new

app.yaml:

handlers:

- url: /static
  static_dir: static

- url: /app/static/(.*)
  static_dir: static\1

- url: /app/.*
  script: app.py
  login: required

HTML:

Description: When page is loaded from /app HTTP request for main.css is successful

 GET /static/css/main.css

But when page is loaded from /app/new I see the following request:

GET /app/static/css/main.cs

That's when I tried adding the /app/static/(.*) in the app.yaml but it is not having any effect.
