This works, but it was a stab in the dark. I know little Ruby.
What's the accepted way to serve a plain old file for a given resource?
get '/xyz' do
File.read 'abc.html'
end

A:
Serve it out of the ./public directory. See the Static Files section of the README and the :static and :public configuration options.

How would it know to map /xyz to abc.html with :static? Is File.read the right way to output a named file?

Ahh, I misunderstood. If you configure a :public and want abc.html than point at http://webserver/abc.html and sinatra won't route it'll just serve the html. If you want to custom route and serve a static file, I think nstehr has got it. Of course you could also just name your abc.html to xyz (or symlin) in your public directory, but I still think I like nstehr's way.

A:
you can use set :public to specify the directory for your static files. Then, you can serve the file using send_file() for example:
get '/static_file' do
send_file('my_static_file')
end
