Setting up access control using Location blocks and authenticating against the Django user database is a bit of an undertaking, however. It'd be nice to see the ticket Chris posted get accepted into trunk. It's still not quite as simple as Robert was initially looking for, but it's a big step in the right direction. -- Kevin --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.

You seem like a perfect candidate ;) I will use mod_wsgi in the future. But according to a release note, it supports authentication and authorization, too.

How can you check that only authorized users can access some files? Files which have a coresponding FileField in the model: How can you test that only some people are allowed to see it? Apache can't do it. Or at least it would be complicated.

There are a number of good tools to do javascript "compilation" - check out Dojo's compressor[1] and the way it the dojo packaging system uses layers which can be combined for different pages[2]. In our projects we've written tags to help with loading javascript into specific pages.

Re: Better Support for static file serving via django
It sounds like you're actually proposing two things here. 1) Using Django to serve static files. There already exists a mechanism for Django to accomplish this during development, detailed here: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/static_files/ , although it's not a good idea to use this in production. 2) Using Django to compile, compress, and obfuscate javascript into one file. This sounds like something that's a bit more reasonable, although some might argue that you could write a utility to do this up- front, and let the server serve it statically. Someone has done something very similar to your proposal, but with images, and you can check that out here: http://www.djangosnippets.org/tags/imagebundle/ . The way that amitu went about promoting his/her imagebundle was a really good approach: write some code, paste it to djangosnippets.org, and see if others find it useful. If you're looking to implement your Javascript obfuscation and merging filter, you might want to go a similar route. Hopefully that helps. -Eric Florenzano On Dec 11, 6:30 pm, "Mike Scott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey All, > > I've been looking at how to better serve my static files for django sites, > and I'm particularly interested in things like Javascript handling. > > For example if we were to look at RoR, they have their include tags which > can automatically compile javascript into one big file, compressing and > obfusicating it. > > Is this an approach the bulk of the Django community are interested in > taking or is it something that we should leave to the things that do it > best, ie: Apache and the like. > > Regards, > > Mike Scott --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
