I read that TM's sister site FindSomeone recently deployed an NZ-developed optimisation technology that (should) have circumvented this sort of thing. It compiles CSS and JS down to a bare minimum, and even appears to encode image sprites into the CSS code, so that they all are delivered as a single request. Looking at FindSomeone today, the tech seems to have been removed (or I'm missing it). I don't recall the name. It was first available for IIS but may be available for Apache now too.
Many OSS CMS incorporate some feature like this too. Drupal will optionally compile your CSS files into a single deliverable file which has a hashed, unique filename. This ensures they can be aggressively cached *and* will be loaded anew when updated. (Anyone remember what that tech is called?) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
