Hey Myles, You have answered my question. Thankyou.
This is one of those areas I should have been clearer in. The desired effect I'm going for is that the static assets are requested one per deployment (that is good enough for me right now). currently I'm adding etags which still have the browser send requests to the server, in which case the server sends back a 304 Not Modified. Which is better than retransmitting the image each time, but I'd like to remove the entire round trip. What I want is the effect that timestamps with an expires/last modified set like a year in the future (I can never remember whether it is expires or last-modified) so that the same asset is brought out of browser cache rather than re-querying the server and getting a 304. So I can do this for normal rails assets that have the timestamp thrown on the end, but I'm not sure how to do it with the images inside my JS and CSS files. I hope that is a bit clearer.
