Switch S3 assets to subdomain to enable Cloudflare CDN #339

Closed leppert closed 12 years ago

Because our S3 assets are served from Amazon's domain, I don't believe Cloudflare is caching any of them. Switch the S3 bucket to use a subdomain per: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5043616/amazon-s3-static-web-sites-custom-domain-or-subdomain

Looks like you can't use SSL to access an S3 bucket through a CNAME, which we need because the bookmarklet posts from https sites (such as Twitter).

I also tried to use Cloudflare's "Flexible SSL" as a bridge, masking to http, but that seemed dicey. So for now this is on ice.
