Oliver Charles commented on MBS-646:
------------------------------------

Someone suggested we add 10 years cache time to all static files, and then query strings may be taken into account - this could be an option

>             Project: MusicBrainz Server
>          Issue Type: Task
>    Affects Versions: NGS - Beta 1
>            Reporter: Dave Evans
>            Assignee: Oliver Charles
>             Fix For: NGS - Release Candidate 1

> In pseudo-code:
>   # Either for each request, or if you prefer at startup time only:
>   $mtime = (stat "main.css")[9];
>   # Every time main.css is linked to:
>   link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/main.css?t=$mtime" />
> In combination with UpdateStylesheetLinks (MBH-7), this ensures that clients always use fresh style sheets (though they might be using cached, and hence stale, images, JS, etc).
