Assuming you have the iFiles in place (uploaded) and configured (assigned in the GUI), then you'd use a series of URI or path conditionals and the HTTP::respond command. Here's an example: 


when HTTP_REQUEST {
     switch [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
          "/images/background.jpg" {
               HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get ] "Content-Type" "image/jpeg"
          }
          "/css/styles.css" {
               HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get ] "Content-Type" "text/css"
          }
          "/index.html" {
               HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get ] "Content-Type" "text/html"
          }
     }
}

The HTTP::respond command allows an arbitrary set of headers after the content, which allows you in this case to send the Content-Type header to the browser for proper rendering.
