Transforming file paths to support absolute paths

[nybblr]

I currently use "real" URLs in my ember app, which unfortunately breaks the manifest since it uses relative paths.

To get around this, it feels like there should be a mechanism to transform paths (e.g. to add support for CDNs as well).

Thoughts? I'll be coding up a quick implementation on my fork.

I am having similar needs, have a look in pathprefix branch.

Hey @ssured, any way we can get this merged in? I have another feature I would like.. but i'll open up a separate issue for that.

@ZackMattor I am not sure it is ready to merge yet; currently I am not using that code as we cannot get a CDN to work for our scenario; our need is no more. I am curious for what features you want and open for PRs

[ZackMattor]

I've been using the CDN branch for about a month now and it has been working fine for me :)

I need a way to allow for relative paths for certain builds (basically remove the preluding '/' from each line)

Great work @ssured! I also tested the pathprefix branch and it works for me.

But there is an issue when using includePathsto add an external resource. Using
includePaths: ['http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,700']
ended in
http://my.cdn.url.com/http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,700.

But it is possible to fix that when you set pathPrefix as a function:
pathPrefix: function(file){ return file.startsWith("http") ? file : 'http://my.cdn.url.com/'+file; }

Cool, seems like a nice solution. Can you make a PR?
