 In this example any files with URLs starting with ``/static`` will be served
 directly from the ``public`` folder in the current directory, so for example,
 the URL ``/static/index.html`` will return local file ``./public/index.html``
 and the URL ``/static/css/styles.css`` will return local file
-``./public/css/styles.css``. The second rule creates a default mapping for the
+``./public/css/styles.css``.
-``index.html`` file when the root URL is requested.
+
+If a URL that ends in a ``/`` is requested, then a default filename of
+``index.html`` is appended to it. In the previous example, a request for the
+``/static/`` URL would return local file ``./public/index.html``. The default
+filename to serve for slash-ending URLs can be set in the static files
+dictionary with an empty key::
+
+    static_files = {
+        '/static': './public',
+        '': 'image.gif',
+    }
+
+With this configuration, a request for ``/static/`` would return
+local file ``./public/image.gif``. A non-standard content type can also be
+specified if needed::

+    static_files = {
+        '/static': './public',
+        '': {'filename': 'image.gif', 'content_type': 'text/plain'},

 The static file configuration dictionary is given as the ``static_files``
 argument to the ``socketio.WSGIApp`` or ``socketio.ASGIApp`` classes::
