Currently the asset_host is set by a proc or an object for all controllers of the site.
I think one could easily make this more flexible by allowing the controller to override the asset_host. As the asset host is currently only a configuration it is already available through the controller therefore one could change the compute_asset_host<https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/asset_url_helper.rb#L192> method to use the controller's asset_host by changing the line "host = config.asset_host if defined? config.asset_host" to "host = controller.asset_host if defined? controller.asset_host". I am not sure if this change has no side effects (beside if someone defined an asset_host method on his controller which does something else) but as far as I can tell the asset host should still work as expected. While this feature would be very useful for my special use case (my application has no access to the cdn the assets are hosted on and therefore we have quite a lot of switches when we can and can't use the cdn), it may not be for others. What do you guys think is this a change worth investing some time into and putting together a pull request? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
