Rails asset cache

Rails
1

I have a of line code like
<%= stylesheet_link_tag “styles”,:cache => “cache/styles” %>

And it produces source as

config.action_controller.perform_caching = true

My concern is what is 1279620123 after question mark(?) above. If such a
random number always appended, whether caching in browser happens or
not?Please give me a good idea

Thanks
Tom

It’s the timestamp when the file was last changed (or the last file if
you
list multiple stylesheets in stylesheet_link_tag).

That way browsers can cache it long term and it will automatically
change if
you change one of the files during a new deployment.

Hi
Again I am facing a problem. I am using firefox with firebug.A
portion of my code like
<%= stylesheet_link_tag “styles”,“home”, :cache => “cache/all” %>

Now in my local machine from firebug under net tab I disabled “Browser
cache” .Then result I got like

GET home http://localhost:3000/home 200 OK localhost:3000 14.4 KB (?)
…
GET styles.css?1279620123
http://localhost:3000/stylesheets/styles.css?1279620123
200 OK …

Again from local machine I enabled “Browser cache” and got result
like(Only the below line I got)
GET home http://localhost:3000/home 304 Not Modified localhost:3000 14.4
KB …

But the above same procedure when I did from another machine which is
not local, I got the same result for both the steps. Caching did not
happen.

I got 200 OK for both steps. I am running in staging mode. Please

help me to resolve this

Thanks
Tom

Sorry, no idea.

(just to let you know that you’re not being ignored it’s just likely
that
no-one has an answer for you, this generally works fine for me).
