[Phpmyadmin-devel] Gsoc 2013

[Dron Rathore]

Hi all,
I am back from my mozilla drive and just going to stick back to pma. I
got this idea for Gsoc:
Refactorig the Front End Deliverables,
Currently we are serving the Js+Css in sprited mode but on the other
hand we are not able to Cut down the Bandwidth usage of our users I.e.
We can have them served with Cache headers. Also the current scheme is
somepage.php?files[]=file1&file2&....[...]
As per the web standards any url with query string is never cached.
So I would like to turn this into something like this in individual rendering:
somefolder/file1
somefolder/file2
Now we will be keeping a gz on server side so that we won't have to
gzip the files every time. The files will the served with a cache
header so we will be responding back only if the header value
IF-MODIFIED-SINCE and will check that with timestamp of the file, in
case its smaller then we will gz again else we will just say 301 Not
Modified. This will save a lot bandwidth usage and a php5 memory
Lekage bug.
