PaperclipOnAkamai
=================
A simple addition to Paperclip. I doesn't uses Akamai as only Storage but rather saves all files local and pushs copies to Akamai. Best way to use is with delayed_job since Uploading to Akamai via SCP takes some time.
The Plugin adds a 8 digit random hex string to all filenames. This helps with Akamai Caching, every new version of the same file (if it has the same filename at all) gets a new filename on akamai, every old version is deleted. Between modifying the attachment and uploading to akamai, local urls are generated for that attachment.
Installation
============
ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/Soph/paperclip_on_akamai.git
Basic Usage
===========
1. ruby script/generate paperclip_on_akamai Class <attachment>
2. run rake db:migrate
3. change "has_attached_file" to "has_attached_file_on_akamai"
4. copy example_akamai.yml to RAILS_ROOT/config/akamai.yml and edit all values (delayed_job is recommended)
Example
