Lighttpd plugin mod_concat

Sunday, 14th September, 2008

I have just released a plugin for lighttpd, to concatenate CSS/Javascript files together to reduce the number of requests made to the server (and hopefully minimize page load time). This plugin is based on mod_concat for Apache which in turn was initially thought of by David Davis at Vox and reimplemented in perlbal.

The plugin is available on Google Code. I still need to get around to adding documentation.

The main difference between the Apache implementation and my implementation for lighttpd is that mine requires a whitelist of file extension

concat.include_ext   = (".css", ".js")
