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")

Python API Wrappers - iContact and PayflowPro

Sunday, 31st August, 2008

Our company has just open sourced two API wrappers for iContact and PayFlowPro. They are available on Google Code.

Both libraries have been deployed in our projects, so they work. A setup.py file needs to be added and they need to be submitted to pypi but we will get around to that when we have some spare cycles.

Both are released under the Apache 2.0 license.

Contact me if you want some more information.
