spring Resource handler not handling /../**

I'm using spring boot with thymeleaf and all my resources are outside spring application on a path like "/../../css/main.css". On dev env should resolve the path using an url and live env go on the path. 

@Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
    String templates=env.getProperty("spring.thymeleaf.prefix");
    registry.addResourceHandler("/../../css/**")
            .addResourceLocations(templates);
}
// spring.thymeleaf.prefix = http://website.com/assets/

Why the resource handler is not handling these kind of resources, but if I "/**" is handling without problems? Am I missing something?

Edit: if resourceHandler is "/css/**" and location is an url is not being handled either

You can't reference to external resources as you want cause resolver looking for resources from classpath.

Try to do it like in this issue - Add external resources folder to Spring Boot or in this - How do I use Spring Boot to serve static content located in Dropbox folder?

I am pretty sure that using .. in the addResourceHandler is not valid but I do not have specific documentation to back it up. The path is describing a pattern that the server gets not what is listed in the browser. From the function doc: "based on the specified URL path patterns". If you reference .. from a browser that will still be changed to some absolute path to be sent to the server. This is why your other versions work without issue.
