[google-appengine] Re: Does static files count for outbound traffic?
Hi Mariano, Yes, static files are included in your daily traffic quota. Bear in mind that although App Engine does not provide last-modified or etag headers, it does set Cache-Control and Expires headers, and you can control the expiration time in app.yaml, so browsers should not re-request static content until it expires. -Nick Johnson On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 11:15 PM, Mariano Benitez wrote: > > I do have some large static files, and given that appengine do not use > eTags or another form of check it is always returning the entire > files. > > If the static files count as part of the outgoing traffic quota (which > I think it is reasonable), then either you implement eTag or another > method of not returning the entire file if it was not modified. > > My other alternative is to implement my handlers, move all to dynamic, > and handle the 304 myself.

Should not and will not are very different things in my experience :) Esp. when faced with users pressing F5. Pressing F5 will often result if a Conditional GET (if there is a etag, or last-modified in the original) I guess that this should be directed into the feature request to allow enabling of last-modified on the static server. http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=575 > > -Nick Johnson > > On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 11:15 PM, Mariano Benitez > wrote: > > > > I do have some large static files, and given that appengine do not use > > eTags or another form of check it is always returning the entire > > files. > > > > If the static files count as part of the outgoing traffic quota (which > > I think it is reasonable), then either you implement eTag or another > > method of not returning the entire file if it was not modified. > > > > My other alternative is to implement my handlers, move all to dynamic, > > and handle the 304 myself.

[google-appengine] Re: Does static files count for outbound traffic?
Thanks Barry and Nick, Now it comes to the trade off between spending cpu cycles and bandwidth... If I make my own handler for static files, I don't use bandwith but cpu cycles, the other way it's much simpler but your bandwidth increases... BTW, is it TOO bad to cache the 4 images I use all the time in the handler itself, not even in memcache... they would add up to less than 500k.
