# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- module Juicer # # Assists in creating filenames that reflect the last change to the file. These # kinds of filenames are useful when serving static content through a web server. # If the filename changes everytime the file is modified, you can safely configure # the web server to cache files indefinately, and know that the updated filename # will cause the file to be downloaded again - only once - when it has changed. # # = Types of cache busters # # == Query string / "soft" cache busters # Soft cache busters require no web server configuration. However, it is not # guaranteed to work in all settings. For example, older default # configurations for popular proxy server Squid does not consider a known URL # with a new query string a new URL, and thus will not download the file over. # # The soft cache busters transforms # /images/logo.png to /images/logo.png?cb=1232923789 # # == Filename change / "hard" cache busters # Hard cache busters change the file name itself, and thus requires either # the web server to (internally) rewrite requests for these files to the # original ones, or the file names to actually change. Hard cache busters # transforms /images/logo.png to /images/logo-1232923789.png # # Hard cache busters are guaranteed to work, and is the recommended variant. # An example configuration for the Apache web server that does not require # you to actually change the filenames can be seen below. # # # # Application/website configuration # # # Cache static resources for a year # # ExpiresActive On # ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year" # # # # Rewrite URLs like /images/logo-cb1234567890.png to /images/logo.png # RewriteEngine On # RewriteRule (.*)-cb\d+\.(.*)$ $1.$2 [L] # ]) # # = Consecutive calls # # Consecutive calls to add a cache buster to a path will replace the existing # cache buster *as long as the parameter name is the same*.
