This is pretty much what rails does. Straight from github: <link href="/stylesheets/bundle_common.css?7371c81fbc6b010a32fb11b42a0fc322c3c57863" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="/stylesheets/bundle_github.css?7371c81fbc6b010a32fb11b42a0fc322c3c57863" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
It would be nice to provide some kind of generic helper snippet for this. Some hash that is configured on boot up would be great; provide some function in lift rules to alter the behaviour and away we go. Perhaps something like: <lift:css href="/whatever.css" /> Thoughts?
