Good people of Webkit!
We'd all like for the web to be faster, and therefore I'd love your feedback
on my proposal — it would be great to see support for this in additional
browsers, not just Firefox:
http://limi.net/articles/resource-packages/
Summary:
What if there was a backwards compatible way to transfer all of the
resources that are used on every single page in your site — CSS, JS, images,
anything else — in a single HTTP request at the start of the first visit to
the page? This is what Resource Package support in browsers will let you do.
Looking forward to hear your thoughts on this.
I happened to open a bug on this, early this morning:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31621
WebKit already supports something similiar - webarchive's. Main
difference being that webarchives contain the main resource as well as
the sub-resources. Perhaps some of the same machinery can be reused
there though.
Though ... makes me wonder ... why not have a mode of supporting the
main resource as well? Go from two downloads down to one. You'd just
need a convention for specifying the "main" resource in the .zip file ...
