Unify resource requests for embedded applications #1048

Open aronatkins opened 8 years ago

aronatkins commented 8 years ago

If a Shiny application contains embedded applications (loaded in iframes), each of those embedded applications loads a separate copy (via a distinct URL) of resources that should be shared (bootstrap, fontawesome, etc).

These resources should all map to the same top-level location, thus allowing the browser to use its cache and reduce the amount of network pressure.

Related to #1047, as these repeated resources contribute to network pressure and block the application's server connection from being initiated.

I'd like to handle this in Shiny Server
