Gitea version (or commit ref): 1.4.1
Git version: Not relevant
Operating system: Ubuntu 17.04
Database (use [x]):
- PostgreSQL
- MySQL
- MSSQL
- SQLite
Can you reproduce the bug at https://try.gitea.io:
- Yes (provide example URL) https://try.gitea.io/test.png
- No
- Not relevant
Log gist: https://gist.github.com/LewisTehMinerz/ebc0c8018857b241f563fdba6f7d3c25 (contains the lines from the log that issue the 404s)

Description

Gitea seems to fail to serve custom png files hosted under /custom/public/. It doesn't display the regular 404 though, it displays the browser's default 404 page. I have also observed this behavior even though the png files do not exist. This makes it almost impossible to customize the homepage and the navbar images.

If the images are already built in to Gitea (such as /img/gitea-lg.png) it doesn't cause this issue, it just uses the built in copy.

In the third and fourth screenshot I have provided a screenshot that shows that other file types work correctly, even if they don't exist.

Works for me on try.

Are you sure you have the capitalisation correct?

Considering this issue is about 7 months old I would believe that it was fixed. However, this was a very large bug that really screwed up my customization of Gitea.
