634658 - [Demo Studio] Include modified date-stamp of submission in URL path to static demo assets

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Demo Studio / Dev Derby, defect)

Description

[Les Orchard [:lorchard]]

Currently, the URL path to the static assets of a demo looks something like this:

https://developer-stage9.mozilla.org/media/uploads/demos/l/m/lmorchard/globe-tweeter/screenshot_1.png

Change this so that when the demo is submitted or edited, a modified date-stamp is included in the path, like so:

https://developer-stage9.mozilla.org/media/uploads/demos/l/m/lmorchard/globe-tweeter/201102161328/screenshot_1.png

This will ensure that cached assets will be refreshed, since the URL path for every asset will change based on the modification time of the demo itself.

This makes sense... 

Not sure what other implications the change will have, so hopefully you guys can shed some light before we spend a lot of time on this.

Haven't copied this over to kuma yet, will wait to close until then.

This should be working on stage9 now. The URL to all uploaded screenshots and demo ZIP files should include a numeric timestamp that changes every time something new is uploaded.
