On: Using Immutable Caching to Speed Up the Web

[grizzles]

Thanks for your feedback. What do you think about this (filename preserving) scheme:

example.org/urlcache/path/to/file/file.mimext?hashalg=hash

eg. example.org/urlcache/file.png?sha384=9b78b27b73668784e38c8a58a8535deaaecb77709

A lot of webapps already use this type of scheme for cache-busting, though of course the hash algorithm isn't mentioned. I assume that's important so that the browser can do verification?

Exactly right.
