You should setup your webserver (apache, lighttpd, nginx, etc.) to proxy http requests for static files to borschik-server.
Example of nginx configuration:
location ~* "\.(css|js)$" {
# proxy all requests for css/js to borschik-server
# use $uri (not $request_uri) to deal with rewrite
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8055$document_root$uri;

How to extend with new technologies
You can create you own server with this code
;
This code references to your own tech-resolver. You can find example in unit tests. In this example we add support for new ".styl" tech.
You can redefine pathResolver as well. Example. In this example we define built files as file.min.js
