So after looking though the libcloud docs and API it seems to be
missing two key features.
1) Ability to upload files to the cloud host
2) Set custom headers for a file
That coupled with the fact that most of the providers supported by
libcloud offer a separate CDN service with it's own APIs I think it
might be handy to write a CDN API for libcloud. So my first real task
with this project will be to contact each of the providers supported
by libcloud and see if they offer a separate CDN service and if they
do what the API is for it. Once I have this info we can come up with a
proper CDN API for libcloud
I do not personally use any of the supported providers or even use
S3/CloudFront, so if anyone out there does and is interested in
helping write provider specific code for the provider you use that
would be very helpful.
==== Brainstorming ====
These are the basic models I came up with. Not knowing the API of all
the CDNs I am not sure if I should store some type of bucket info with
the asset/group or not. I know S3 has buckets but I dont know if any
of the others do. So further refinement of the models will need to be
done once the CDN API is developed.
Models
Optimization
name
command (this is passed to os.system() along with the input
and output path for the asset)
file_type (js, css, all)
priority (This is to ensure execution order of chained optimizations)
Asset
name (name of the asses used in the template tag)
path (full path to the file)
optimizations (optional m2m field with the optimizations to be
applied to this asset)
AssetGroup
name (group name used in the template tag)
files (m2m field with all files in this group)
optimizations (optional m2m field with the optimizations to be
applied to these assets)
