I had a full URL as my STATIC_URL setting (something like http://www.example.com/static/) and I was getting 404s for /static/dajaxice/dajaxice.core.js when testing my site locally (with manage.py runserver). This commit fixed it for me. It seemed to happen because staticfiles.views.serve was handing down to Dajaxice's finder a path with forward slashes, whereas it was expecting a path with backwards slashes.
I had to do a bit of a hack in my urls.py to get staticfiles to serve my files even with a full URL in STATIC_URL (is there a better way? I'm not aware of one), so I guess this isn't a common use case.
