in web2py all links generated with URL are relative, unless you specify the
host parameter.
I really don't see the problem: normally static files links are defined in
layout.html and if you're using
response.files.append(URL('tosomethingstatic')). How many are there in your
app? 20, 30 ? Is it really a problem ?
If you don't want to change URL('static', 'css/myfile.css') to a plain
http://cdn.cloudfront.com/whatever/static/css/myfile.css you can still use
URL('static', 'css/myfile.css', host='http://cdn.cloudfront.com/whatever/')
.
Or, you can use the routes facility, in routes_out
('/$app/static/$anything',
'http://cdn.cloudfront.com/whatever/$app/static/$anything'),
