Any time a user / browser requests the file it is counted as a request, and logged in the summary page. To limit the amount of request made from the user's browser you can cache <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_cache> the file in the user's browser.
To do this on Google App Engine add a *default_expiration *to your *app.yaml * file: *default_expiration: "10m"* * * - url: /images static_dir: static/images The *"10m"* will cache files in your static/images folder for 10 minutes. If one user loads the page 100 times in 10 minutes it will only show up as one request. After 10 minutes the browse will make a new request adding another download to your summary page. You can extend the time by changing the* default_expiration: "1d" *<- for example will cache files for one day. Here's full documentation for app.yaml settings: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/appconfig.html#Static_File_Pattern_Handlers Does that answer your question? - Kyle On Tue, Nov 15, 2011 at 9:58 PM, Kate <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Kylie, but why are these files still showing as "requests" on > my summary page? > > > On Nov 15, 2:44 pm, Kyle Finley <[email protected]> wrote: > > - url: /images > > static_dir: static/images > > > > *Yes* > > > > - url: /images/ads > > static_dir: static/images/ads /* that is do subdirectories have the be > > explicitly listed > > > > *No, all subdirectories will be included:* > > *images/ads* > > *images/cats* > > > > - url /stylesheets > > static_dir /stylesheets /* that is can you have more than one virtual > static_dir? > > */ > > > > *Yes* > > > > - Kyle > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Google App Engine" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
