Dinesh and Thiago: Yes, it should change the URL of your resources to use a proxy URL similar to the URL given in the article on latency Tips for orkut.
http://code.google.com/apis/orkut/articles/latency.html#static I just whipped up a quick application that included a static reference to the Google logo and Firebug shows the URL rewritten as: http://1.sandbox.gmodules.com/gadgets/proxy?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fintl%2Fen_ALL%2Fimages%2Flogo.gif... Keep in mind that you shouldn't need to add the Optional block in the sandbox since rewriting is enabled by default. Even so, it should still work if you include the block above, but if you don't see the rewritten output, please reply with the URL of your application and I'll look into it. If you don't indicate otherwise, .swf files will be served from the proxy just as images and other files are, meaning you may run into cross-domain issues since the file is no longer being returned from its original domain. (I'm not a Flash expert by any means, so perhaps another user can help more with this cross-domain discussion). If this is a problem, you can easily disable rewriting for certain elements like object and embed. You may also consider using gadgets.flash.embedFlash to embed your Flash movies. - Jason On Jul 9, 10:41 pm, "Dinesh Kumar Subramanian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Jason, > > Thanks for your reply. > 1. > I have used this in my app > <Optional feature="content-rewrite"> > <Param name="include-urls">.*</Param> > <Param name="exclude-urls"></Param> > <Param name="include-tags">.*</Param> > </Optional> > > can you tell me what change in the code will I see.
