-------------------------------------------------

    Resolution: Not a Problem

This can be implemented using the 5.4+ 'http', 'https' or '//' asset bindings, implementing your own binding prefix or even URL rewriting.

>                 Key: TAP5-1276
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-1276
>             Project: Tapestry 5
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: tapestry-core
>    Affects Versions: 5.2
>            Reporter: Toby
>            Priority: Minor

> Many websites with high traffic deliver static content such as CSS, JS or images using a CDN (content-delivery network) such as Akamai, Limelight, Level-3,CDNetworks etc...
> The principal is simply.
> static,domain.com is pointing to the CDN. The CDN requests the resources from the origin server such as www.domain.com or static-origin.domain.com and the end-user will access it via the CDN cache through static.domain.com.
> If Tapestry should actively support the integration of CDNs, it should be possible to use the standard components to reference resources externally.
> If Tapestry checks for the existence of resources or reads them for generating packages files (e.g. combine all JS or CSS files to one), it can do it locally - however the final URL should be absolutely reference by the CDN URL that can be configured.
> Example:
> @Inject
> @Path("context:images/tapestry_banner.gif")
>  private Asset banner;
> Could be extended to:
> @Inject
>  @Path("cdnContext:images/tapestry_banner.gif","http://static.domain.com/"); 
> private Asset banner;
> Alternatively it could be a global parameter to overwrite the URLs by adding an external domain for delivering CSS, JS or images.
