      var match = /(\.css|\.eot|\.gif|\.html|\.js|\.png|\.svg|\.ttf|\.woff|\.jpg)($|\?.*$)/ig.exec(req.originalUrl);
      if (!match) return next();
      middleware(req, res, next);

  }
  
  //usage
  this.use(onlyStatic(express.static(__dirname  + "/public")));

@molokoloco haha good catch

Actually this regex fails if you have a request like:

/foo?file=x.html << this is not static
