Resolution

1. Create a custom HTTP Module and serve the specific request:


using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Web;

namespace SitefinityWebApp {
 public class StaticResourceModule: IHttpModule {
  public void Init(HttpApplication context) {
   context.BeginRequest += this.Context_BeginRequest;
  }

  private void Context_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e) {
   HttpApplication app = (HttpApplication) sender;

   var requestPath = app.Request.Url.GetComponents(UriComponents.Path, UriFormat.UriEscaped);
   if (this.IsStaticResourceRequest(requestPath)) {
    string resPath = app.Context.Server.MapPath("~/" + requestPath);
    if (File.Exists(resPath)) {
     app.Context.Response.WriteFile(resPath);
     app.Context.Response.StatusCode = 200;
     app.Context.Response.ContentType = "text/css";
    } else {
     app.Context.Response.StatusCode = 404;
    }

    app.Context.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();
   }
  }

  private bool IsStaticResourceRequest(string requestPath) {
   if (requestPath.StartsWith("path/to/custom.css")) {
    return true;
   }

   return false;
  }

  public void Dispose() {}
 }
}

2. Register the custom module in the web.config file before the SitefinityHttpModule:

<add name="StaticResourceModule" type="SitefinityWebApp.StaticResourceModule, SitefinityWebApp" />
<add name="Sitefinity" type="Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.SitefinityHttpModule, Telerik.Sitefinity" />
