NotAuthorized when serving static files.

I'm trying to serve a static index.html file and I think my code is correct but when I go to http://localhost/static I get:

{
  code: "NotAuthorized",
  message: "/static"
}

Is it an issue with the current changes that have been made to the static file serving JS or is it an issue with my code?

Route:

app.get(/\/static\/?.*/, restify.serveStatic({ 
    directory: "./",
    default: "index.html"
}));

Start with the provided app.get route and the restify.serveStatic implementation, then reproduce the request to /static with the shown directory and default settings. Compare the result with the current static file serving JavaScript changes; done means identifying whether the NotAuthorized response comes from the route configuration or from restify.
