Forked from https://bitbucket.org/luke/static/
A really simple WSGI way to serve static (or mixed) content.
See docstrings of static module for details.
Following features are added:
Used for html 404 errors.
Example:
app = static.Cling('.', not_found=static.StatusApp('404 Not Found', file='./404.html'))Automatically detects and sends if gzipped content is
requested and available. Example: index.html tries to find index.html.gz
in the same directory.
Gzip is disbaled for Pre SP2 IE6 and IE5 browsers. Read more here: http://sebduggan.com/blog/ie6-gzip-bug-solved-using-isapirewrite/
Pushing beyond gzipping is implemented now. Read more about it here: http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2010/12/pushing-beyond-gzipping/
For better performance. Trying to keep syntax similar to Apache's
ExpiresByType. You can specify the expires headers in
seconds against each mime type.
Example:
EXPIRES = [
# html
('text/html', 0), # No cache
# feed
('application/xml', 60*60), # 1 hour
# favicon
('image/x-icon', 7*24*60*60), # 1 week
# media
('image/gif', 30*24*60*60), # 1 month
('image/jpeg', 30*24*60*60), # 1 month
('image/png', 30*24*60*60), # 1 month
# CSS and Javascript
('application/javascript', 365*24*60*60), # 1 year
('text/css', 365*24*60*60), # 1 year
]
app = static.Cling('.', expire_headers=EXPIRES)For better browser rendering performance. Again, trying to keep
it similar to Apache's AddCharset. Charset can be set for filename
patterns (file extensions in most of the cases).
Example:
CHARSETS = [
('*.html', 'UTF-8'), # Default for html files
('*.ja.html', 'SHIFT_JIS'),
]
app = static.Cling('.', charsets=CHARSETS)Custom headers can be sent for matching file patterns. Use * to
send a specific header with all files.
Example:
CUSTOM_HEADERS = [
('*.html', "X-UA-Compatible", "IE=Edge,chrome=1"),
]
app = static.Cling('.', custom_headers=CUSTOM_HEADERS)Here are the suggested features for future:
- Cache Busting using filename rewrites instead of query strings (http://www.stevesouders.com/blog/2008/08/23/revving-filenames-dont-use-querystring/)
