Can someone help me understand what the gadgets.io.getProxyUrl does ?
I've seen it discussed in the mailing lists, but the OpenSocial
specification only says:
<static> Type: {String} gadgets.io.getProxyUrl(url, opt_params)
Description: Gets the proxy version of the passed-in URL.
I found a description elsewhere that implies that the getProxyUrl can be
used to cache objects
on the Shindig server and a local url is handed back instead of the
"remote" url - but
that is just a guess:
"Gets the proxy version of the specified.
gadgets.io.getProxyUrlcan be used to cache the resources used in a
gadget and allow the gadget to
render faster."
Are there restrictions on relative vs. fully qualified URLs, whether the
gadget is local to shindig or served by another container ?
What sort of objects can be cached (assuming this caches....) using this
method ?
Thanks,
