It's a shame that "CDN-Hosted" means only "Amazon CloudFront hosted".

thx for suggestion, added to lazyweb requests

planned on adding MaxCDN and Rackspace support

I would separate each service into an add-on package, eg: 'express-cdn-rackspace'

similar to passport, good idea

I'm really looking forward to the MaxCDN support, as our company uses it for most of our projects. Currently we've been manually doing all the optimisations and uploading and whatnot. Though to be fair, we're not using Node.js for any of our existing projects, but i started a new project this week using Node.js and something like this would be a godsend when it comes to scaling the application up.

Thanks for creating this.

No offense but even after some years still most npm don't come with any tests. Is that considered normal or to hard to do with the current javascript test libraries?

added tests to lazyweb requests, thx

pull requests welcome

This is exactly what I was looking for but couldn't find, so I was resigned into building something like this over a weekend sometime. Looks like I'll be testing this library out in my production setup instead this weekend :D

Can you run image optimizers on your application server? Would that slow down everything else?

built in 2 days, would love help with the lazywebs such as adding tests and more CDN hosts

Replacing url() calls inside stylus is pretty high on my requirements, If I've got some time I'll work on that.

Though perhaps that would be better implemented as a stylus function, like: http://learnboost.github.com/stylus/docs/functions.url.html

Awesome. I'm working on a project right now and was close to writing this myself.

I wrote something similar, a connect middleware, but not as feature rich as this one. https://github.com/qzaidi/magickwand/blob/master/examples/cd... I guess there would be several things I can pick up from here.

This is amazing. Nice job niftylettuce.

\o thx Robbie
