+module ActionView
+ # = Action View Asset Cache ID Helpers
+ #
+ # Rails appends asset's timestamps to public asset paths. This allows
+ # you to set a cache-expiration date for the asset far into the future, but
+ # still be able to instantly invalidate it by simply updating the file (and
+ # hence updating the timestamp, which then updates the URL as the timestamp
+ # is part of that, which in turn busts the cache).
+ #
+ # It's the responsibility of the web server you use to set the far-future
+ # expiration date on cache assets that you need to take advantage of this
+ # feature. Here's an example for Apache:
+ #
+ # # Asset Expiration
+ # ExpiresActive On
+ # <FilesMatch "\.(ico|gif|jpe?g|png|js|css)$">
+ # ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"
+ # </FilesMatch>
+ #
+ # Also note that in order for this to work, all your application servers must
+ # return the same timestamps. This means that they must have their clocks
+ # synchronized. If one of them drifts out of sync, you'll see different
+ # timestamps at random and the cache won't work. In that case the browser
+ # will request the same assets over and over again even thought they didn't
+ # change. You can use something like Live HTTP Headers for Firefox to verify
+ # that the cache is indeed working.
+ #
+ # This strategy works well enough for most server setups and requires the
+ # least configuration, but if you deploy several application servers at
+ # different times - say to handle a temporary spike in load - then the
+ # asset time stamps will be out of sync. In a setup like this you may want
+ # to set the way that asset paths are generated yourself.
+ #
+ # Altering the asset paths that Rails generates can be done in two ways.
+ # The easiest is to define the RAILS_ASSET_ID environment variable. The
+ # contents of this variable will always be used in preference to
+ # calculated timestamps. A more complex but flexible way is to set
+ # <tt>ActionController::Base.config.asset_path</tt> to a proc
+ # that takes the unmodified asset path and returns the path needed for
+ # your asset caching to work. Typically you'd do something like this in
+ # <tt>config/environments/production.rb</tt>:
+ #
+ # # Normally you'd calculate RELEASE_NUMBER at startup.
+ # RELEASE_NUMBER = 12345
+ # config.action_controller.asset_path = proc { |asset_path|
+ # "/release-#{RELEASE_NUMBER}#{asset_path}"
+ # }
+ #
+ # This example would cause the following behavior on all servers no
+ # matter when they were deployed:
+ #
+ # image_tag("rails.png")
+ # # => <img alt="Rails" src="/release-12345/images/rails.png" />
+ # stylesheet_link_tag("application")
+ # # => <link href="/release-12345/stylesheets/application.css?1232285206" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" />
+ #
+ # Changing the asset_path does require that your web servers have
+ # knowledge of the asset template paths that you rewrite to so it's not
+ # suitable for out-of-the-box use. To use the example given above you
+ # could use something like this in your Apache VirtualHost configuration:
+ #
+ # <LocationMatch "^/release-\d+/(images|javascripts|stylesheets)/.*$">
+ # # Some browsers still send conditional-GET requests if there's a
+ # # Last-Modified header or an ETag header even if they haven't
+ # # reached the expiry date sent in the Expires header.
+ # Header unset Last-Modified
+ # Header unset ETag
+ # FileETag None
+ #
+ # # Assets requested using a cache-busting filename should be served
+ # # only once and then cached for a really long time. The HTTP/1.1
+ # # spec frowns on hugely-long expiration times though and suggests
+ # # that assets which never expire be served with an expiration date
+ # # 1 year from access.
+ # ExpiresActive On
+ # ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"
+ # </LocationMatch>
+ #
+ # # We use cached-busting location names with the far-future expires
+ # # headers to ensure that if a file does change it can force a new
+ # # request. The actual asset filenames are still the same though so we
+ # # need to rewrite the location from the cache-busting location to the
+ # # real asset location so that we can serve it.
+ # RewriteEngine On
+ # RewriteRule ^/release-\d+/(images|javascripts|stylesheets)/(.*)$ /$1/$2 [L]
