Hi Dinesh. I'll try to answer your questions below: 1. URL rewriting obviates the need to use gadgets.io.getProxyUrl. Instead, the rewriting mechanism basically modifies all of the URLs in your application so that they can be cached by orkut's immense infrastructure. This way, the resources stored on your server are hit less often (which is good for you) and render faster (which is good for your users). So yes, I think you're general understanding is correct.
The tag block above is used to indicate which URLs and elements to include (or exclude) the rewriter should act on. For example, if you want all of your images cached, you should place img in the 'include- tags' Param element. If you want all URLs except those served from mydomain.com, you should place .* in the 'include-urls' Param element and mydomain\.com in the 'exclude-urls' Param element. You might want to exclude certain URLs if they are already being served from a CDN, for example. You may also find that the rewriter is not working properly for certain URL schemes, so you would want to disable these URLs as well. 2. It depends on your parameters. If all you need for your request is the owner and viewer IDs and container name, then including authz="signed" is all you need since orkut passes these with signed requests. If you need arbitrary parameters (e.g. passing an arbitrary tag to your server-side script), then you can't preload these requests. Please let me know if you have any other questions. - Jason On Jul 9, 6:16 pm, "Dinesh Kumar Subramanian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Jason, > > I have 2 important questions > > 1. what is the significance of having > > <Optional feature="content-rewrite"> > <Param name="include-urls">.*</Param> > <Param name="exclude-urls"></Param> > <Param name="include-tags">.*</Param> > </Optional> > > -- what I understand fro the document provided that having aconfiguration > like above will let orkut proxy all the include urls and tags .... but that > way i dont need to specify separate proxy code for my script , css, flash > and image files. > > -- If I am wrong please correct me. > > 2.
