javascript - Serve stylesheet from Rails asset pipeline on nginx error 495 (bad client certificate)? -

i have basic rails application layout, with

<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all' %> <%= javascript_include_tag 'application' %> 

using nginx, i'm asking optional client certificate:

ssl on; ssl_verify_client optional; 

when client connects bad certificate (expired, not yet valid, or not trusted, example) nginx responds weakly generic page reading, "the ssl certificate error".

to provide reasonable user experience, tell nginx:

error_page 495 /actual_useful_information.html; 

but lose stylesheets , javascripts, when browser loads page , follows links of rails layout, certificate still bad , stylesheets not forthcoming.

is there solution serve styled page making use of layout? there way inline assets pipeline (for 1 case)?

having javascript in there nice too, @ least, how styles.

i found own answer:

<% if @inline_assets %>   <script><%== file.read("public#{javascript_path('application')}") %></script>   <style><%== file.read("public#{stylesheet_path('application')}") %></style> <% else %>   <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all' %>   <%= javascript_include_tag 'application' %> <% end %>
