I was wondering if it would be possible to combine different media files solely using the URL in order to minimize the amount of requests made to the server. It's a little used trick that is mostly done manually. However, doing this manually requires you to either write a deployment script and run it each time or combine the files manually and maintain them. Having them done serverside would make the code easy readable and maintainable.
Examplse using comma-separator: This... <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://myapp.appspot.com/media/css/ reset.css,default.css"/> Would be equivalent to doing <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://myapp.appspot.com/media/css/ reset.css"/> <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://myapp.appspot.com/media/css/ default.css"/> And... <script src="http://myapp.appspot.com/media/js/ jquery.min.js,jquery.cookie.js,jquery.color.js,jquery.fancybox.js"></ script> Would be equivalent to doing <script src="http://myapp.appspot.com/media/js/jquery.min.js";></ script> <script src="http://myapp.appspot.com/media/js/ jquery.cookie.js,jquery.color.js,jquery.fancybox.js"></script> <script src="http://myapp.appspot.com/media/js/ jquery.color.js,jquery.fancybox.js"></script> <script src="http://myapp.appspot.com/media/js/jquery.fancybox.js";></ script> The handler should be very simple and not inspect the involved files at all, just simple concatenation equivalent to this unix command: $ cat file1.js file2.js file3.js > file1.js,file2.js,file3.js Best regards Seph -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
