Hi there, is there any way to update files stored on Amazon's CDN service? Seems like it won't take any update of a file we make (eg. removing the file and storing the new one with the same file name as before). Do I have to explicitly trigger an update process to remove the files from the edge servers to get the new file contents publi...
Hi, I'm a computer science student and was able to convince a CDN who has a NOC locally to give me a tour of their facility this last Monday. I thought it was great and might consider network engineering in the future. But I think I'd rather be programming the utilities that run and operate these networks. Either way, I would love to pl...
Here's what I mean. In developing my ASP.NET MVC based site, I've managed to offload a great deal of the static file hosting and even some of the "work". Like so: jQuery for my javascript framework. Instead of hosting it on my site, I use the Google CDN Google maps, obviously "offloaded" - no real work being performed on my server - Go...
I'm using Amazon's CloudFront to serve static files of my web apps. Is there no way to tell a cloudfront distribution that it needs to refresh it's file or point out a single file that should be refreshed? Amazon recommend that you version your files like logo_1.gif, logo_2.gif and so on as a workaround for this problem but that seem...
Hi guys. Im currently developing an application with two web projects (MVC): Frontend Backend These two are going to have almost the same layout (few minor changes). Therefore I thought about creating a MasterPage, they can share. But since it's two projects in two different locations, where should I put the masterpage, images and j...
Hi everyone, I'm still new to the whole CDN ideaology, so this might be a stupid question but I'm sure someone can shed some light on this. I've got a basic php script that takes user image uploads, resizes them, creates a directory ($user_id), and stores the finished product in the directory (like www.mysite.com/uploads/$user_id/image...
We have an images folder on our web servers that we may publish via a CDN. Sometimes we append query-string like syntax to URL's to help us freshen content that has changed, even though it rarely does. Example: /images/file.png?20090821 will URL's like this work with your average content-delivery-network? ...
I'm kinda new to this whole CDN and RTMP stuff. But with regards to delivering movies over the web, be it streaming or buffering or whatever, what is the best way to do this? And is this also the best way according to latest web standards? I've read that some people say to put your movies files on a CDN and then stream them over RTMP. I...
For one of my projects we utilize a Content Delivery Network (EdgeCast) and I was wondering if anyone knew of an existing (open source) library for C# that we could leverage? In a nutshell, I am investigating the ability to create directories, upload files, and allow some general maintenance (rename files, delete files) via our admin pa...
With the Announcement of the Microsoft AJAX CDN a debate arouse this morning about whether utilizing a public CDN for common libraries was a good idea for intranet applications. I can see both sides of the argument but without revealing too much of our discussion I wanted to put forth the topic on Stack Overflow to see other's opinions. ...
Does it actually matter which CDN you use to link to your jquery file or any javascript file for that matter. Is one potentially faster than the other? What other factors could play a role in which cdn you decide to use? I know that Microsoft, Yahoo, and Google all have CDN's now. ...
Someone recommended cdn, And is it accurate in judging where the IP address belong to? How is it done? Is there a better solution? ...
I am wondering if there are any hosts or if I can host my file (JS & CSS) on Google so that they are cached and load real quick (due to CDN and gzip). A number of my customers use these files and I would prefer if they could somehow include this to file to receive the JS file. Ideally with filename.js?publickey=sdfgsdfg (which will be ...
We are considering hosting the core of our site (everything that doesn't need to be dynamically generated) on a CDN, so that our root domain (e.g. "http://example.com/") would point to the CDN, then everything dynamic would either point to an alternate second-level domain (e.g. "http://search.example.com/ for searches) or be layered on t...
I'm reading up on Google App engine and I'm thinking of using it as a CDN for a project I'm working on. As far as I can tell, there's two ways to store data. I could use a datastore or I could put files in a directory. I was brought up believing it's a bad idea to store large binary data in a database, but according to Google, the dat...
simplecdn supports rtmp streaming... cloud files says progressive download... But are they pseudo stream? ie. seek to middle of file and start streaming from there. ...
What are your experiences with CDNs regarding ease of development, support, performance, pricing, etc? I am planning to use it to host a big number of images. ...
I'm developing a web application and am looking for a great inexpensive CDN to host my images/css/js. Does anyone know of a great INEXPENSIVE CDN which offers either rsynch or origin/push services? ...
I am using jQuery from google CDN. I looked at the cache-control and it seems the browser should fully cache the jQuery version for a long time. However when I disable Internet access my webpages stop working. Why? Is it because even though jQuery is cached, the browser still needs to resolve DNS? ...
I am wondering if such a service exists where these two files would be unique: ../apps/info.xml?id=131 ../apps/info.xml?id=454 The recommendation I have received from most CDN's was to use a url rewrite module to convert those to something like: ../apps/info_131.xml ../apps/info_454.xml My issue is that I have several clients alrea...
