MVC6 Self-Hosted wwwroot content returns 404, IIS Express doesn't

Question

I'm playing with ASP.NET5/MVC6 and I built a small web application. When I use the IIS Express debug server of Visual Studio, everything is working as expected. But when I use the "web" server profile, meaning the WebListener server, then only my MVC Controllers and Views work. However, everything stored under "wwwroot" returns a 404. What I've put there are the CSS, JS and image files.

As soon as I switch back to IIS Express, the content is fetched properly.

The full source code is available there: https://github.com/acastaner/acastaner.fr-mvc6

This is my Startup class:

public class Startup
    {
        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddMvc();
        }

        public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
        {
            app.UseMvc(routes =>
            {
                routes.MapRoute(
                    name: "default",
                    template: "{controller}/{action}/{id?}",
                    defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" });
            });
        }
    }

This is my project.json file:

{
    "webroot": "wwwroot",
    "version": "1.0.0-*",
    "dependencies": {
        "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.IIS": "1.0.0-beta3",
        "Microsoft.AspNet.Diagnostics": "1.0.0-beta3",
        "Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc": "6.0.0-beta3",
        "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.WebListener": "1.0.0-beta3"
    },
    "frameworks": {
        "aspnet50": { },
        "aspnetcore50": { }
    },
    "bundleExclude": [
        "node_modules",
        "bower_components",
        "**.kproj",
        "**.user",
        "**.vspscc"
    ],
    "exclude": [
        "wwwroot",
        "node_modules",
        "bower_components"
    ],
    "commands": {
        "web ": "Microsoft.AspNet.Hosting --server Microsoft.AspNet.Server.WebListener --server.urls http://localhost:5000"
    }
}

I'm using Razor for the views, here's a sample of how I reference the files:

<link href="~/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Is there something obvious that I totally missed?

Edit:

I did try using @Url.Content("~/css/bootstrap.min.css") but the effect is the same.

I think you need one more dependency: "Microsoft.AspNet.StaticFiles": "1.0.0-beta3" and app.UseStaticFiles(); before app.UseMvc
